in the majority of counties the condition
is reported at 100 per cent. or over. In

counties in Wisconsin report the condi.
ton at 100 per cent. Other counties hav,
suffered from ten to fifty per cent. The

Deafness Can't Re Cured

byiocal applications, as they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever;
which is nothing but an inaamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness caused by Catarrh) that
we can not cure by taking Halls Catarrh

Going, or Gone,


Nothing that lives can bloom
Lorg upon earth;
joys that our days illume,
Die IN their birth;
AL that the soul admires,
All that the heart desires,
From heart and soul expireS
Leaving but dearth.
Stars, as they light the hours,
Steal them away;
Rays which unfold the flowers,
Bring them decay;
Even morn's beams Of light,
Fresh on their heavenly flight
Shine but to speed the night;
Nothing can stay.
Pleasures, like cloudlots, smile
When the days done;
Golden and purple while
Lingers the sun;
All that our hearts can say
Ofthose who blessed our way,
Is that, like metcors, they
Shono-and are gone.
