Ivervone knows how damp the Engiish climate is and bow dampness affects those suffering from catarrh. In England they treat catarrhal deafness and head noises as a constitutional disease and use an internal remedy for it that is really very efficacious, Sufferers who could scarcely hear have had their hearing restored by this English treatment to such an extent that the tick of a watch was plainly audible seven and eight inches away from either ear. 5 1;herghrlo|;ie, ifl,vnu knvw{;urmeone w:ni z s’ troubled = with catarrh. catarrha TOMMY ' TIDD t deafness or head noises, cut out this - formula and hand it to them, and you- may have been the méans of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from total “fdeafness.

Take this home, and add to it 3 .pint of hot water and 4 ounces of ‘granulated su- gar; stir until dissolved. Take a table- spoonful four times a day. Parmint is used in this way not only to reduce by tonic action the inflamma- tion and swelling in the FBustachian tubes, and thus to egualize the air pressure on the drum, but to correct any excess of seerétions in the middle ear, and the results it gives are usu- ally quick and effective. 3 Every person who has catarrh in anv form should give this recipe a trial.
