'I have been rsilroading for about IL
years, ten of which spent on the freight runs.

pain set in over my eyes.
''There was constant buzzing or ringing
sound in my ears, and when blew my

breaking inside Of them. My nose for sew
eral years would bleed, anywhere from four
to dozen times in one day. The trouble
seemed to have a firm hold on me and to be
steadily, though slowly, extending. spent
large sums for patent medicines, and was
treated by several physicians, but obtained
no relief. When was promoted to the

A large proportion of the troubles Of the
ear may be traced to catarrhal affections.
Many sufferers from catarrh will testify to
the peculiar effect that the disease seems to
have even in its early stages upon the hear
ing. The roaring and buzzing in the ears is
one of the most familiar symptoms to ca
tarrhal sufferers.
Sometimes the sound which they hear in
their ears is described by them as "steam
going out of pipe, "the sound of great
waterfall, sounds of water overfowing,"
or "steam from locomotive" as buzxing.
singing, ringing and cracking; sometimes
like the sounds in shell held at the ear ot
the bursting of bubbles.
Sometimes the sounds are OF beating-
pulsating, throbbing character, in cases
keeping time with the regular beating of the
heart. Sometimes there are several differenn
sounds such as pulsating and buzz;ng together,
IN some cases the sounds are so intense as to
render life a burden, and there are instances on
record where the distracted sufferers have reA
sorted to suicide to rio themselves OF them.
There can be no more important predisposng
or exciting cause in producing ear diseases than
catarrh In the nose and throat. The symptoms
OF catarrh itself can hardly be mistaken. In
chest and sides, and sometimes in the back.
They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has bad
taste, especially in the morning. A sort OF
sticky slime collects about the teeth The ap-

food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the
hands and feet become cold and clammy.
After a while q cough sets in, at first dry, but
after few months it Is attended with greens
ish-colored expectoration. The patient feels
tired, all the while, and sleep does not seem to
afford any rest. After time he becomes
nervous, irritable, and gloomy, and has evil
forebodfngs. There is giddiness, sort of
whirling sensation in the head when rising up
suddenly. The bowels become costive, the
skin is dry and hot at times; the blood becomes
thick and stsgnant; the whites Of the eyos be-
come tinged with yellow; the kidney secretions
become scanty and high colored, depositing q

is frequently attended with palpitation OF the
heart and asthmatic symptoms.

NEW YORK. August l0-The stock market
to-day. owing to the absence of q large number
OF the prominent traders and brokers, was al
most entirely given up to the professional
element. Prices were first advanced and after

final changes are generally for insignificant
fractions. The London market was quoted
very strong, but first prices here were only
slightly changed from last nights figures, but
the temper Of the room for the time being was
very bullish, and in the first hours trading
there were marked advances scored In some Of
the specialties, OF which Sugar Ttiust, Wheel

ferred were most conspicuous, rising ~. lk

Some animation was shown in Atcbison, Bur.

but IN neither of these stocks did the extreme
huctuation exceed u per cent. The, buying
was mainly for the covering of sh9rts, but
later the selling of Sugar Trust by brokers who

the list soon followed, and the early advances
were in most cases entirely wiped out Both
the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and st.
Louis and Chesapeake and Ohio's were rom-
paratively quiet, and moved over an extremely
narrow range. The market hnally closed cfuli

Railroad bonds were quiet though the sales
reached somewhat higher figures than usual Pf
late, being $462 00O. This was divided between
a comparatively small number OF issues, and

The stock market yesterday, SO far as re-
CARDS actual quotations, was practically un-
changed. The extreme dullness admits of any
figures which principals or their agents choose
to make. PHILADELPHIA Gas was fractionally

best customers causes speculators to handle it
very carefully. The other gassers about held
their own. Electric was firm at 623I bid. The
good condition of the company enables this
stock to hold all the advances made.
