They are only factors that produce it, aud they cannot produce it until the third coudi lion is supplied, which is the tym pauum, or drum, of somebody's ear, against which tney strike. and thus makes a sound. Sound, therefore, is nothing but tlie striking 01 air viorauons against the drum of the oar, auc cannot ex'st out of it. The con ditions that produce it exist out of the ear, but the ear is absolute ly necessary to complete it. "The Doctors told me my cough was incurable One. Minute Cough Cure made me a well man."
