Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they can not
reoch the diseased portion of the ear,
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem.
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets inflamed you have rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and his tube restor-
ed to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces. We will give
one hundred dollars for any case of
deafness (cuused by catarrh) that we
can not cure by taking Halls Catarrh

Strange Case Of "Rachitis" Affect
Ing q Little Girl Near Adrian.

Little 10 year. old Maude Warner. who lives
with her parents on farm near Adrian,
Mich, has until recently seemed physically
perfect and as gay and athletic as any child
Of her age. She had rosy cheeks, plump
figure, and eyes bright from bubblng spirits.
Maude's physical condition now Is sadly
changed, aud Is affording much study and
perplexity to many surrounding physicians.
About three months ago her parents OBJ
served peculiar dropping OF the left shoul-
der, which was attended by dull pain.
They attributed 1t to dislocation, although
the child could not remember Of having re-
ceived any injury. When the member grew
no better, however, she was taken to Adrian
and placed in charge Of prominent physi-
clan. He at once pronounced II disloca-
tiop, but, strange to say, when the shoulder
had been Strengthened out II did not stay In
Its place, but slipped out Of the socket and
hung down on the edge.
The case was then diagnosed as fracture,
the arm was bandaged and nature left TO do
its work. But when the bandage was ls

time, the shoulder fell and the dull pain
that the dropping Of the arm at the joint was

cles OF the upper portion Of the shoulder,
