Deafness Can't Re Cured

By local applications as they cannot reach the
way to cure Deafness, and that is by nstitu-
tiona1 remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
Ehstachian Tube. When this tube gets inta1ned
you have ru1nbling sound imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out aud this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

Written ON the Death Of John. ben
and Dora Lewis.

One bright evening came two angels
From the realms 70 pure and fair,
Came to .lo their Masters bidding;
Came TO take Que more up there.
Bending low they whispered seftly,
"Br0tlisr John come home with me,
There TO be forever happy,
Aud from care aud sorrow Free"
Hand in hand they went together,
Dora, Ben and John,
And, while seraphs sang sweet music,
Passed within the gates of light.
While above the Home was frightened,
Filled with songs Of sweetest joys,
The Lome they left was sad and lonely,
For they had lost their girl and boys.
Sisters voice all still and silent,
Brothers hands were clssped in rest,
And u smile the lips just parting,
Telling us that it was best.
Could we pierce the vale and see
All the bliss its shadows hide,
We would not wish them back again
From the gentle Sh .pherd's side.
We'd cease our doubts and useless tears,
Though our cup Of grief run DER,
Could we but see the Savior's hand
Which led then, to that shore.
But when its ours to crsss the tide
And dwell in light and joys,
Beyond deaths portals we shall find
Our darling girl antl boys.
