And yet this Is but one of the doz ens of cures that have been worked by this wonderful preparation. Peo ple use tho remedy conscientiously, receiving permanent benefit, but In mofet cases leaving a request that the matter be not made public. It is even known that some people have been using it for deafness and the general public wero not aware they were thus afflicted. In every case where n request is mado the request Is compliod with and the results are' never made public. Dimmock says there are enough happy over the cures to tell It to the world, and he Is well satisfied to humor those who want the world kept In Ignorance ot the wonderful power of this remedy. During the day Saturday the sales of the medicine nt the drug Store showed an Increnso over any previ ous day and the personal Interviews of persons afflicted kept the gentle men busy throughout the business hours.
