How to Break Up q Cold.

The season is at hand when colds"
are common, so the Boston Herald
comes to the front with some practical
pointers about them:
As soon as chilly sensations are felt,
or the cold affects the head, and there
is sore throat, the victim should go
home at once. With his feet in hot
mustard water he should take an old
fastened rum sweat.
This is very easily administered. Into
an old teacup pour three or four tea
spoonfuls of alcohol. Set it in pan of
water. Now place it under chair hav-
ing a wooden seat. Let the patient sit
down upon this; fasten couple of
blankets around his neck, allowing them
to fall to the floor. then light the alco-
hol. This treatment is by no means
hard to bear.
AS soon as the skin becomes moist
the headache Is greatly relieved and
breathing through the nose is easier; In
fact, all the unpleasant symptoms are
more or less relieved.
The patient should sweat as long as
he will; then, after wiping hastily and
putting on a well warmed undervest, he
should get into bed and be well covered
with blankets.
He should continue to sweat freely
during the early part of the night.
Sometimes he will not do this, even
after the application of the treatment
advised. If he does not he should be
given ten grains of quinine.
If for day or two afterward he eats
and drinks but little, and keeps within
doors, the chances are that he will have
hoored his cold.

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot 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 mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inhamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and tins tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrb, which Is nothing but
an infiamed condition of tine mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that We
cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure.

JERKED FROM THE BUS.

George Cain, the Ponce do Leon Driver,
81 ghtly Used UP.
George G. Cain, white man, who has
been driving the Ponce de Leon "bus"
for several weeks, met with an acct
dent yesterday morning about 113o
o'clock, which came near costing him
his life.
Cain had just hitched up tho team,
and started to drive. out through the
alley to Commerce Street. He drove
very recklessly, and on account of not
having the reins properly adjusted the
horses became unmanagable and ran
against the fence, breaking the tongue
off, swapping the singletrees and, leav-
ing the "bus" wedged against the fence,
dashed out through the alley. Cain.
who held on to the lines, was jerked off
the seat and received terrific fall.
He lay prone on his face, and the crowd
which soon gathered supposed him to
te dead.
a physician was sent for and Drs. Koi-
nor and Strickland soon came and eX-
amined his wounds. On account of his
unconscious condition. his neck was
first thought to have been broken. 1t
was then ascertained that Cain was
drunk when he started out, which fact
caused the accident.
He was removed to his room, when it
was found that both wrists had been
dislocated. large cash cut in the right
jaw, besides receiving several other
bruises and cuts Of trifling character.
In ten minutes after the physicians
dressed his wounds he was out on the
street.
