AFFLICTED MONARCH THE EMPEROR OF GERMANY Is a Victim of Gbronic Catarrh Producing a Running Ear. . EMl'EUOR WILLIAM OP GERMANY. The emperor of Germany has a running ear. A rather prosy statement to make of so great a personage ; It is true never theless , and , what Is worst , he can find no cure. This greatest of emperors , this autocratic ruler of the greatest of nations , can find no euro for such a eeemlngly In significant malady. Just think of It ; a man at whose beck one of the strongest armies and navies of the whole earth could be sot In motion , a man whoso rule Is absolute over the country ot medical universities , man whose slightest caprice could press Into service the most noted servants and philosophers on earth , has a running car and Is unable to find a curel Now cpntrast the experience of the fol lowing citizens of the United States with the emperor of Germany. Like the em peror , they failed to nnd a cure. But , un like the emperor , they happened to bo plain clttrena of the United States , rather than the center of the Inner court of the most exclusive and carefully guarded aristocracy of the world ; * In his position nothing but the remedies that have met the approv al of the most fas tidious medical or thodoxy could ever reach him. In the position of these American cltlzanu , y however , they had acV - to remedlre old ' f ces3 V isSli V * ' and new , tried and Scott Bostlck , untried , approved and Sumptef. S. C. , cured and disapproved. They of Running Ears by .wore at pcrfect lib- Dr. Hartman. erty to try anythlng they chos3. They chose to try the remedy that bad cured others llko themselves , and thus they found a cure. Running ot the ears , deafness or all other affections ot the middle ear are duo pri marily to chronic catarrh. Running of the ear Is properly callel chronic suppuratlvo catarrh. Pe-ru-na will euro catarrh of the middle mrt as well aa catarrh Jocated elao- ' where. . 'v .This .has beep proven overnnd over again in innumerable cases besides.tho ones just mentioned. Deafness and run ning of the ear are but symptoms of chronic catarrh ot the middle ear. Pc- ru-na cures the catarrh ; when the symp toms disappear , whether It be Tunning cars or deafnero or any other affection of the middle ear. The remedy Is compounded according to the formula originally devised by Dr. Hartman of the Surgical Hotel , Col umbus , O. , the noted catarrhal authority. Following are a few cases of catarrh of the middle ear In which a permanent euro was made by the use of Pb-ru-na. These , of course , are only examples of the many thousands of cases which Dr. Hartman has cured. The first case , Mr. Amos B. Mil ler , Mechanic's Grove , Pa. , Is one of chronlo suppuratlvo ca tarrh ot the ear of 28 years' standing , which produced a con stant discharge from both cars. Thla man Is now entirely cured and Is a living witness lo the fact that y | Pe-ru-na can 'cure such cases.
