About five years ago, my right ear began to heal, and this kent on getting worse, until I lost About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my hearing in this car entirely I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a number of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would therefore be less severe. I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treatment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and to-day, after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored.

Vineyards LAXAKOLA FOR WOMEN. Wines Rival the World in Excellence. Cid, stee and mellow by age and years of care and frequent racking and cellars as is done with the Chateau Wines in France. THE MUSEUM The Chateau contains a limited supply of Private Stock Port nineteen years old, besides Burgundy and Claret nearly the same age. The Speer Port, however, nine years old, as well the Burgundy, Claret and Sherry, are high class wines. The ★★★ Climax Brandy is 18 years old. All are preferred where known by the Medical profession as superior to any that can be bead, for their excellent effect upon the system when used by invalids, the weakly aged persons and in general family use. Northern New Jersey climate and soil abounding in iron is just adapted for this grape for Port wine. It is the same kind of soil as in Portugal. Speer's winery and the vines are the only Port grape vineyards in the United States; only vineyards that cultivate the real Port wine grape of Portugal; while other wines or mixtures called port are made without a single Oporto grape in them. Mr. Speer is the first and only one who imported the vines and acclimated the real Port wine grape vines of Portugal. He spent thousands of dollars as a hobby to see what he could do toward acclimating these Portugal vines here. It took eight years for them to become acclimated before Mr. Speer got a single grape; during these years all died except about eight hundred vines, when those began to grow vigorous and bear fruit; from these, layers were made for new vines. The vineyards now cover fifty six acres. It has proven a success. The grapes are allowed to hang on the vines until they begin to raisin, when they have parted with some of the water and are rich in sugar; and the wine made from. Port wine grapes is the only real genuine Port wine made in America. It is by far THE wine the weakest persons, the aged and for evening entertainments. Gold by Druggists and Grocers. CASH OR CREDIT.

From Infancy To Age MOTHERS Laxakola for Babies.—It is the best and most effective remedy for children. BEST because it is pure and safe being made entirely of harmless ingredients. BEST because it is non-irritating and never grips or causes pain or irritation. BEST because it is sure and never fails. BEST because "Children like it and ask for it." BEST because its tonic properties are so good and so strengthening that it keeps the little ones in their hearty condition. It is a dangerous thing to give little babies violent cathartics that rack and rend their little bodies. DON'T DO IT—give them LAXAKOLA. For constipation, coated tongue, simple colds, restlessness, loss of sleep and fevers it is invaluable. A few drops can be given with safety to very young babies, and it will often relieve colic by expelling the wind and gas that cause it. It will aid digestion, relieve restlessness, assist nature and induce sleep. Great relief is experienced when administered to young children suffering from diarrhea, accompanied with white or green evacuations, as LAXAKOLA neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries out the cause of the fermentation. My baby is 4 months old and is toothing. He was sick and I tried a good, many things, but nothing seemed to relieve him. I had a doctor, who said it was inflammation of the bowels, and that I would never pull him through. He had worse than his case. When I saw he was getting worse, I stopped giving him his medicine, as he could keep his nose from the puffy pants, and I joined to screen when he had a touch of it. I knew what it was to close my eye day of night. I gave him a new drops of LAXAKOLA and it relieved him. I got to him a few times, and it worked my eye day of night. I gave him a new drops of LAXAKOLA and it relieved him. I got to him a few times, and he no longer rests pretty fair all night. I was a great deal better than before. He would give nothing else to their sick babies." MRS. MARY DALEY, 397 First Street, South Boston. Laxakola for Young Girls on the threshold of womanhood, has been found in valuable. When they become pale and languid, face bloodless, eyes dull, head aching, feet and hands cold, appetite gone or abnormal, and their systems generally run down, they need building up, and their blood needs cleansing.

March 28: "Bottle came safe, did me a lot of good, drugged here don't keep it, so enclosed is safe, please use me quickly another bottle. The last bottle did me so much good I want another at once." April 5th: "Encased is safe for one more bottle LAXAKOLA. It has done me much good."

To Be Cured of Constipation People who suffer from habitual constipation with all its attendant tills, clogged stomach and bowels, sluggish liver, heartburn, indigestion, and thin and impure blood, are too apt to believe that the only remedy is violent purgatives. Such cathartics are irritating and gripping, over the stomach inflamed and enfeebled, the constipated condition recurs with greater difficulty of cure and the sufferer constantly growing weaker. The liver is weakened and the appetite stimulates the liver, strengthens the nerves, and purifies the blood, while its marvellous logic properties lay in the entero-enteric tract.
