They Have No Hope of Catch
ing the Ripper.

Physicians Say she Could Not Have
Done so-Details of the Tragedy.
LONDON, Aug. s.-The London police in
sst on a theory Of suicide in the case Of
the old woman Woolfe found dying from
horrible wounds that suggested the work
of Jack the Ripper. The police have found
that the woman was insured for ESQ for
the benefit OF her son, and they allege that
she probably cut herself with the razor in
order to give the impression OF a Ripper
murder and TO secure the insurance to her
son, she being aged and feeble and with no
interest in life.
The Police are Hopeless.
Physicians, however, say that it was inn
possible for the woman herself to have in
tiicted the wounds, and some critics aver
that the police arc hopeless Of catching
the murderer and wish to dismiss the
crime as self perpetrated.
Early in the morning an unknown man
attacked the woman. who Is seventy years
old, and a resident Of Whitechapel. When
aid reached the mortaliy and terribly
wounded woman it was seen that he had
cut her throat, and that she had been
alashed in the body and ON one arm. ssess
Her assailant escaped, and thus far the
police are without any knowledge as to his
whereabouts. or his identity nothing is
known
without q Word OF Warming.
The woman says that the man sprung
upon and attacked her without a word o.
| warning
She suddenly saw the glitter Of knif'
aud mechanically raised her arm TO war,

/ covered, and remained where she fell unit

DEAFNESS CONES FROM CATARRH.
Drs. Mccoy and wiIdman Say 10 Arise .
From This Disease in Four Cases Out OF
Every Five

From This Disease in Four Cases Out OF
Every Five.
This very annoying trouble results in four
cases out of every five from catarrh, which
has existed some time, and slowly ex ends
from the throat backwards and upwards
along the Eustachian tubes and thence 10 the
middle ear. The presencs Of catarrh In the
little tube leading to the ear results In closing
up the tube by reason Of ths swelling
Induced by the disease When the
Eustachian tubes are plugged up to
any extent deafness rnsues from inability
of the air to get back Of the drum of the ear.
Unless there IS air behind and In front of the
drum hearing becomes impaired. The only
way to relieve these cases OF deafness is to
cure the catarrh drst. then treat the ears. In
these cases artificial drums and all oths ap-
pliances are worse than useless. Remember
that deafness resulting from catarrh rarely, il
ever. gets we'll il left TO itself, but almost in
variRhly gradually gets worse until total 10 a
% hearing results.
MAxIM-If you have catarrh and are deaf
l first have your catarrh cured, then there vii
be a chance to relieve the deafness.
Drs Mccoy and Wildman make specially
of the treatment Of catarrh, They furnish
all medicines free and their chArg g for treat
ment are SO moderate that they are within
| hereach of all.
