Sufferers are not generally aware that these diseases are contagious, or that they are due to the presence of living parasites in the lining membrane of the nose and eus­ tachian tubes. Microscopic research, how­ ever, has proved this to be a fact and the result is that a simple remedy has been for­ mulated whereby catarrh, catarrhal deafness and hay fever are permanently cured In from one to three simple applications made at home by the patient once in two weeks. N. B.--For catarrhal discharges peculiar to fen^ales (whites) this remedy is a specific. A pamphlet explaining this new treatment Is sent on receipt of ten cents by A.
