CATAKKH. 



Catarrhal I>eafness— Hay Fever, 



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 no-e and eustachian tubes. 

 Microscopic research, however, has proved this 

 to be a fact, and the result of this discovery is 

 that a simple remedy has been formulated where- 

 by 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. — This treatment is not a snuff or an 

 ointment ; both have been discarded by repu- 

 table physicians as injurious. A pamphlet ex- 

 plaining this new treatment is sent free on 

 receipt of stamp to pay postage, by A. H. Dix- 

 on & Son. 337 and 339 West King Street.
