Deafness Can't Be Cured
BY ocal applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the car. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucus lining of the eusiachian tube
When this tube gets infiamed you have a
rumblng sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the intlmation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are causedb by
catarrh, (which is nothing but an intlamed
condition of the mucus surfaces.
We offer One Hundred Dollars reward
for any case of Catarrh that cannot be
cured by taking Halls Catarrh Cure.

excellent fuel, are now selling them
at the rate of So a ton. A sack of

The extraordinary growth of Vol
apuk in popularity is evidenced by
the fact that its adherents are now
supporting 30 monthly journals,
while twice as m'ny newspapers
devote departments to the uni
versap tongue.

when the raw, cold winds create sad
havoc with the hands and complex
