Vitamin A In Tieahneut Oi Hardness of Hearing

The tune may soon come when the haird-of-hearing will all be willing to use the excellent hear- ing aids now available. Every year there appear to be more of these individuals using hearing aids with great pleasure to themselves and convenience to their families and others.

There are some cases in which a surgical operation greatly in- oreases the degree of hearing and still others in which blowing open the Eustachian tube. which car- ries air from throat to middle ear prevents further lcsa of hearing.

Another condition often present with hardness of hearing is tin- nitus A head noises or ringing in' ears. In many cases cutting down on all liquids and table salt in .and on focd helps relieve the lhardness of hearing and the head inoises because less fluid is pre- sent in and about the balancing canals (excess fluid is the cause. of dizziness and head noises).-

However. that vitamin A can help many cases oi hardness of hearing is reported by Dr. M. J. Lcbel in ”Eye, Ear. Nose and Throat Monthly." Vitamin A in high strength is injected into the patient and quickly absorbed. Prolonged treatment with this preparation. which consists oi olive oil, terpens, and vitamin A

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: All of my rnnri-led life. which has been I good many years, my wife has discussed all of our private family nffnlrg with the neighbor: or anyone who will linen.

Certainly no normal woman would want to injure her husband financially. since her own prolperlty depend: upon his. yet it is .-. common thing to hear I wife complain to any one who will listen about how she has to economize ” her husband is Iuch a poor business man. or telling all and sundry that her husband is indolent. or that he gambles or drinks. Very often not a word of these charges is true. but the wife's irresponsible chatter as it passes from lip to lip hoodoos the man and effectually blocks his chances of getting a boiler job.

Worse still. if possible. these women who tell all of their secret sorrows to the neighbors blacken the characters of their own chil- dren. They confide in the woman who keeps the corner grocery lhat they don't know what in the world they are going to do with Sally, who didn't get home until 4 o'clock and who is running with a wild crowd. And that Tom is drinking too much and Freddy won't stick at a job and Sammy is hanging around the pool-rooms instead of try. in to get work.
