Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be
Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure cartarr-
hal deafness. and that is by constitu-
ional remedy Catarrhal Deafness IS
cansed by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubes
When this tube inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed. Deafness
is the result. Unless the inflammation
can be reduced and this tube to its nor
NAL condition. hearing will be destroyed
forever. Many cases of deafness are
caused by catarrh, which is an infiamed
condition oil the mucous surfaces.
Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We viii give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrah Peafness that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Medi

no" Safe Milk Supply Is Insured
For Small Cities

MIX inspection Is of prime neces.
sity. In most OF the larger cities Ia b.
oratoiies are maintained where bac-
terra counts and chemical analyses
are frequently made On samples COL
lected from retail delivery wagons.
stores and restaurants. But the
small cities and towns that can not
aHord the expense o: a tester and
laboratory find it hard to give proper
supervision to their pilk supplies.
The nited States Depa rtmcnt OF
Agriculture suggests that a practical
way Tor such cities and towns to in
sure a safe milk supply is through
The cooperation of two or more ad-
Jacent towns in hiring a milk inspec-
tor and maintaining a laboratory. The
cost OF supervising such n plan may
ne pro-rated among the different
towns on the basis OF popuIation
without the expense being burden
some to any one OF them. State and
Federal authorities are always will
ing to cooperate in work OF this sort.
This plan of town co-operatio in
milk and dairy inspection has been
carried out in different parts OF the
country, probably the most conspicu-
Gus example being tho group OF towns
IN northern New Jersey known as
THE Oranges" In these towns the
plan has been in use for a number Of
years with results that have been
very satisfactory to all concerned.
