Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused b}- an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or importer: hearing, and w hen it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out* and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing wi 1 be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Ten Thousand People

The time and place to buy lard is when and where you have a inture. It is not too much to expect 10,000 people to move into the SWIGART TRACT within the next 5 years. This increase will bring many thousand more acres under cultivation and will cause extensive building operations, growth of business and create a demand for labor and homes. It is already well started. Much more capital is sure to be enlisted in this district, where on all hands we have the splendid assurance and the actual evidence of solid 4 and Steadfast growth. The tract offers exceptional attractions for land seekers. The security here is unquestioned.

'ESTABLISH YQI’RSELF financially by owning a piece of : land here. In the security of this district’s growth you are in partnership with every improvement and every rise in land values. Can you muster up a little courage and confidence? They are necessary in every undertaking. Success and wealth are for the far-sighted man who acts in the present—-not for him who makes the blunder of delaying because of excessive caution. INVESTMENT IN GOOD LAND anywhere is, in this day and age, most akin to hanking. Don’t wait just for the few years until America’s surplus population will be driven in great armies to the land. The highest flour and milling authority says: “The problem of giving the masses bread is becoming the question of the hour; beside it all others are insignificant.” Trust issues and graft scandals and \abor strikes will solve themselves, but the question of bread supply confronts every man and points to the necessity of cultivating every foot of ground possible. IT IS COMMON SENSE that a tract of land peculiarly blessed with the advantages of an even, healthful climate, productivity of soil, remarkable diversity of crops, wonderful supply of purest water, Great Lakes harbors, a ret work of railroads—a gently rolling, well drained, ideal country—right here under the very shadow of Chicago—will not wait lohg until settlers are making wealth in tilling every acre of its warm, responsive soil. That’s the exact description of the SWIGART TRACT, only 170 miles from Chicago, and it is the largest and best located tract of lands in the market, within a radius of 500 milqs of Chicago. » THIS TRACT OFFERS you your pick from over a TH Ol'S AND 40XCRE FARMS and many. larger ahd smaller ones of the finest clover, fruit and general farming land in Michigan, and right in the center and best part of her famous Fruit Belt. It lies in Mason, Manistee and Lake Counties and is surrounded with a well settled up district that embraces many prospering towns that are excellent markets, > including Lqdington and Manistee, whose combined population is over 30,0.00 people. $lO per month with a down payment of SIA to SSO buys a 40-acre farm in the SWIGART TRACT. This gives a man of limited means the chance to get a farm home in Michigan
