Included in the thousands of letters re-
ceived by DR.. Coffee, the deafness and
catarrh specialists, from people who tell
of their relief from deafness, head noises
from Dasal catarrh, and from catarrh, he
has given a number which are reproduced
below.
All OF the letters shown in this advertise
ment are on file in this office. Following
are the records of few typical cases as
told by Dr. Coffee or the patients them
selves:
After II Years
Mrs. NJ. s., aged GA, of st. Louis, came to
me personally with a history of losing her
hearing about As years ago, caused from a
catarrhal condition that started when she
was girl. She had tried a great many diff
ferent remedies trying to find relief from
the deafness
"She was practically totally deaf in her
right ear when she came to me and almost
in the left. She hadn't heard a telephone
in II years, and people usually had to write
to her. She complained of the most intense
head noises She started my treatment and
used it regularly. At the end of two months
time she could not see that she was hear
ing any better; in two months and half,
she sat down and cried, she was so dis
couraged; at three months she thought she
could hear a little better. She kept up the
treatment for about year, and at the end
Of that time could hear a telephone plainly
with either ear, first time in II years.
''This was one of the worst of the long
standing severe cases of deafness that |
ever treated, and it shows the possibility of
what may be done if the structures of the
middle ear are not damaged by the disease.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-10-07

to slowly but surely remove the causes Of
the deafness, and when the causes were re-
moved | was able to hear again.

Tells of Home Treatment
Changing the treatment and developing
it-adding here and taking away there, after
several years, the home treatment was per-
fected. Now it is possible for anyone, any
where, with just ordinary household sur
roundings, to treat themselves for relief Of
deafness, dizziness of hearing or head noises
from nasal catarrh."
Hundreds Tell of Relief
Because of the horror of deafness and be-
cause of the great number of people who are
yearly afflicted with this terrible condition,
it was hard at first for sufferers to believe
that they could be bettered by a simple
home treatment But the many people who
have been bettered by the treatment-have
at last established DR.. Coffee as leader in
his field. His name is known to thousands
of people throughout the United States.

5O0,O Treated for
Catarrhal Deafness and
Catarrh, Is Doctors Record

A remarkable record has been estab-
Ilshed by DR.. w. o. Coffee, the DaVen-
port, Iowa, eye, ear and nose specialist,
who has ieveoped the treatment for deaf
ness, head noises from nasal catarrh, and
catarrh.
During his IS years as practicing physi-
clan, he has probably established rec
ord which no other physician in the coun-
try can match. His records show that
more than 100000 people suffering from
deafness, head noises from nasal catarrh,
and catarrh, and eye diseases have used
his treatment. These people live in all
sections of the country and have been
treated, In the majority of cases, at home,
using the home treatment for this dis
tressing condition, as developed by Or.
Coffee.
The results Of these different cases
have been gone over and complied and
the beneficial effects Of this home sys-
tenn of treatment have been proved.
When the average physician has treated
fifty cases with one definite system of
treatment II is sufficient to demonstrate
what II will do. DR.. Coffee has thousands
of such cases. Letters from people who
have used this home treatment are on, file
In his office that show the wonderful re-
suits.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-10-07

DR.. w. o. Coffee appeals especially to
those who are just beginning to notice that
they are losing their hearing in one ear and
with the coming of cold find the other ear
affected. Many who are now stone deaf
could have been made to hear again if their
cases had been properly cared for at the first
showing of dullness of hearing
Many cases of deafness are caused by
dry catarrh-a type which gives no notice
able discharge or symptom.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-10-07

benefited. Letters from hundreds of these
people thanking the doctor for his treatment
and attesting to the effectiveness of his work
are on file in his Davenport offices.
DR.. Coffee does not claim that his orig
inal treatment will restore hearing to all
cases of deafness, but he says if the deaf
ness or head noises are caused from a ca
tarrhal condition and the tissues of the mid
die ear are not damaged, the hearing should
be restored to real good or normal. Basng
his experiments in his office on this practical
relief of these conditions, he has positively
demonstrated and proved that the restora-
ton of hearing to many severe cases is an
easy, practical fact for the sufferer to &C
complish for himself at home.
Literally thousands of people from differ
ent sections of the United States have used
this original home treatment and many
found relief from distressing head noises
and restoration of good or normal hearing.
Tells of Development
In telling of the development Of this eff
fective treatment for deafness, Dr. Coffee
says: more than 25 years ago, l began to
suffer with head noises, dullness of hearing
and with catarrh. I was rapidly losing my
hearing. l was bad in one ear and with
every cold would get bad in the other.
Slowly put surely my nearing was leaving
me- naturally tried every treatment that
l knew Of as deafness in my profession
would have been fatal to my success. After
a great loss of time and after many remedies
had failed to give me permanent relief l
Gained my fears and began to analyze the
cause and effect of my trouble.
"Basing my Treatment on the results Of
this study evolved system which I be:
lieved would remove the handicap of deaf
ness II anything would. There was nothing
magical about it. 1t was logical scientific
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-10-07

Mrs. Mona Mcbride of Illinois says, '"This
is to certify that since having scarlet fever
when little girl, have been hard of hear
ing and for the past four or five years I
have been almost entirely deaf. A few
months ago my left ear began to discharge.
I found it to be assessed Nothing seemed
to stop it and finally I tried DR.. Coffee's
treatment. To my surprise and delight the
hearing in the ear which was partially deaf
for nearly 20 years has returned and the
abscess has healed Now can hear a con-
versation six feet away. I didn't believe It
possible and ! certainly advise anyone suf-
fering with deafness to try this treatment.

The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-10-07

There is no obligation attached to DR.. Cot
fees plan in any way. 1t is simply means,
the doctor explains, of spreading the news,
Of his treatment and proving to the world
that such thing as relief for Deafness dull
ness of hearing and head noises from nasal
catarrh and catarrh itself, lis possible. He
is sure of what his treatment will do the

Restored Hearing in One Month

Contrary to the general belief deafness
and head noises due to nasal catarrh often
lend themselves to treatment and relief
very rapidly. The peculiar construction of
the ear in it's relation to the rasal passages
both creates a condition which results in
deafness and makes possible a ready relief
when that is corrected. This was the basis
of the home treatment as perfected by DR..
w. o. Coffee which has resulted in relief to
thousands of sufferers from deafness and
head noises from nasal catarrh, and from
catarrh itself
