Deafness Can't be Cured

by local 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 bv an inhamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining OF the Eus-
stachian Tube. When this tube gets
indamed you have q rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when il is en-
tirely closed Deafness is the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
ont and this tube restored to its normal
condition. hearing will be destroy ed for
ever: nine cases out of ten are caused
bv catalvh. which is nothing but an in
tlamed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.

This wing Of the free trade army
might find it profitable to recall the
admission Of that good free trade au-
thority, Prof Sidgwick, Of England, in
laying down the proposition that mo
mere theorist has the right to dispute
the practical business man Of affairs on
the effect Of law enacted by a nation
on the industry and labor Of the coun-
try in question, unless the said theorist
has an equal array Of facts and statistics
to sustain his position. Admitting the
correctness of this view, but one con
clusion is possible, when the fact is re-
called that clouds Of witnesses in behalf
OF Protection have been forthcoming for
a hundred years, backed up by figures
from their facts within their experience
and that these are disputed almost
exclusively by men who have neither
their own experience nor that of prac-
teal producers to support their theories.
The history Of manufactures the world
over shows that not supremacy alone,
but the bare independence of nations in
the support of their peoples, SO far as
manufactures are concerned, has dis
appeared in the face of free trade with
more favorable circumstanced and
richer rivals. Ireland, Portugal and
Turkey furnish European examples of
industrial decadence resulting from
diplomacy that gave to British manu-
facturers the opportunity to break down
weaker competitors white in far-otf
India. where cotton spinning and weav-
ing once fourished and gave employ
ment to thousands Of contented natives.
British guns compelled concessions to a
free trade that proved the prelude 10
disappearance Of Il prosperous textile
industry.
There is no more philanthropy be
hind present efforts Of British trades
men and diplomats to get control OF
American markets than inspired them
to secure a monopoly Of the trade in
the countries named; and if the result
should prove equally disastrous to
American industries, Great Britain
would have removed the most formid-
able obstacle to her ambition to become

In 1879 Mr. H. O. Filler, Of this vii
lage, became possessed OF . formula for
the compromising Of medicine for
horses and cattle which had been in his
family for nearly = century. having been
originated By his great grandfather, q
chemist in England During these
hundred years the remedy has been con-
tinually improved by experiment and
experience until in 1917. when il was
brought 10 this country. il was known
TO all stockmen III England as without
equal for the cure Of various diseases Of
horses and cattle and for the keeping of
the same in tine condition. During the
early years Of its existence it ives sold
at four shilling the pound (SD When
it came into Mr. Filer's possession in
1879 he conceived the idea Of putting it
up in one ful pound package which
should sell at 4 price within the reach
of all He gave it the name Peoples

which has since become q synonym for
excellence and purity.
The business. starting in q small way.
has rapidly extended under Mr.. File-' 5
management. until i now reaches every
State and Territory ard takes in Aus
tralia and South America.
Al the beginning Of the present year
the business was converted into q stock
company. and is now being carried on
by the Joppa Manufacturing Company.
The success of this remedy has been
due to its recognized excellence and to
the serupulous care which has been
taken TO use only the best of chemically
pure materials. Everything passes 8
most thorough test, and when the in
gradients go into the well-known red
label package and receive the seal of
the company they are accepted at once
as just what they are represented to be.
Purity has been insisted upon at every
stage OF the manufacture, and this Is
undoubtedly the great secret of the sue
cess of the goods. especially as of late
years there are great numbers of light
weight powders. concocted of cheap
and worthless materials which are put
on the market in competition with
Peoples Powders.
The Joppa Company is now greatly
extending its business, and it is crafty
ing to us to learn that the present years
sales promise to greatly surpass those of
any previous year.
