TO RELIEVE CATARRH,
CATARRHAL DEAFNESS
AND HEAD NOISES

Persons suffering from catarrhal
deafness, or who are growing hard of
hearing and have head noises, will be
glad to know that this distressing af-
Fiction can usually be successfully
treated at home by an internal medi-
cine that in many instances has eff
fected complete relief after other
treatments have failed. Sufferers who
could scarcely hear have had their
hearing restored to such an extent
that the tick of a watch was plainly
audible seven or eight inches away
from either ear. Therefore, If you
know of someone who is troubled with
head noises or catarrhal deafness. cut
out this formula and hand it to them
and you may have been the means
of saving some poor sufferer perhaps
from total deafness. The prescription
can be prepared at home and is made
as follows:
Secure from your druggist 1 ounce
Parmint Double Strength. Take this
home and add to it Il pint of hot
water and a little graduated sugar;
stir until dissolved. Take one table
spoonful four times day.
Parmint is used in this way not only
to reduce by tonic action the inflam-
nation and swelling in the Eustachian
Tubes, and thus to equalize the
air pressure on the drum, but to cor
rect any excess of secretionS in the
middle ear, and the results it gives
are nearly always quick and effective.
Every person who has catarrh in
any form, or distressing rumblng,
kissing sounds in their ears, should
give this recipe a trial.

And as he waved a trowe1 and a

Wild cheers greeted his statement,
and the tools were handed around for

make his point more telling with the
explanation:

One summer, when little Martin
was paying visit to his cousins in

Potatoes

Two years ago, when the price of potatoes
was less than half the cost today, every one was
urged by the government to raise them. Vacant
lots were put under cultivation and thousands OF
bushels of potatoes were stored in cellars and
pantries for winter consumption.
Two years ago the cry was that home gar
dens would help win the war. Today the call has
lost none of its potency, if the war is over,
for if urban jewellers do not plant potatoes indi-
cations are that they will not be able to buy them
this fall.
The country is facing a menacing crop short
age. Foodstuffs are going to be scarce and high
They will be plentiful and cheap if vacant land
within the city corporations are planted with

He has been carrying on his work for many years in England. working through the Church of England of which he is member. He was invited to this country by the Episcopal church and is now touring this country under the auspices of. this church. He is backed by both of these churches, and whatever else may be said of them it cannot be said that they are easily stampeded. MT. dickson is doing very remarkable work in this country, and his coming to this city is an event of first rate importance. MT. dickson is very quick to discIaim any personal power, power is through him, not in him: he is but the enamel for the healing power of God an instrument in His hands.
