A NEW TREATMENT. 
Sufferers are not generally aware that I 
these diseases are contagious, or that they I 
are due to the presence of living para-J 
sites iu the lining membrane of the nose 
and eustaehian tubes. Microscopic re¬ 
search, however, has proved this to ho a j 
fact, and the result of this discovety is 
that a simple remedy has been discovered 
which permanently cures the most aggra¬ 
vated cases of these distressing diseases by 
, afew simple applications \niu\o(two weeks 
I apart) by the patient at home. Apamph 
let explaining this new treatment is sent 
free by A. H. Dixon & Son, 337 aud 339 
Wost King Street, Toronto, Canada.
