About one month ago my child, which ia fifteen months old, had an attack of diarrhoea accompanied by vomiting. I gave it such remedies as are usually given in such cases, but as nothing gave relief, we sent for a physician and it was under his care for a week. At this time the child had been sick for about ten days and was having about twenty-five operations of tbe bowels every twelve hours, and we were convinced that un less it soon obtained relief it would not live. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was recommended, and I decided to try it.

Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of th9 mucous lining of the Eus tachian Tube. When this tube is in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it Is en tirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taker out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cass out of ten are cause by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous sur faces. .
