Deafness Cant be Cured

by local applications, as they can not
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
in6amed condition Of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets intlained you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and the
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
Catarrhl that we can not cure by
taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars, free.

A Conservative Bankers Opinion.

Messrs. Hambleton i Co., bankers,
OF Baltimore, through whose hands
millions have been invested in South
ern securities, say in their last circu
lar:
1t is generally believed that as
great as has been the progress OF the
South, the prosperity of this section
has only commenced, and that for
many years TO come it will attract
and command the attention OF CAPT
tai and enterprise from other sections
Of this country and Europe. The
advantages and opportunities offered
are pre-eminent Where the raw ma
terial can be most cheaply produced,
there will the manufacturer ind 1t most
profitable to establish his industry.
1t is as certain as anything improved
can be that in few years the South
will manufacture greater part of the
cotton and iron products of this coun-
try. There is no sentiment III trade,
manufacture and commerce, and the
finished product can always be pro-
duced at less cost where the material
can be more cheaply obtained. In
production of cotton the South is al
most wholly without competition, pro-
ducing, as it does, three-fourths OF the
worlds annual crop. In the manu-
facture of iron, the South also pos
sesses great advantages in the JuI-
Imposition Of irons component parts
iron ore, coal and lime. In most
other sections these materials have
to be gathered from distant quarters,
and consequently in the cost of pro
duction of the finished article the
South defies competition. Another
and most important advantage in
Southern industries lies in the fact
that they are not over capitalized.
This is specially favorable to South
ern securities. At the North, East
and West railroad with as low a
mortgage debt as $40, 600 per mile is
an exception; at the South a road
with more is an exception, and the
average is from 10000 to $4,000 per
mile. This limited liability adds to
the value of such securities and makes
them attractive to investors.
The monetary disturbances Of last
winter we regard as positive bene-
fit. 1t stopped all speculative enter
prises and made more secure such in
dustries as are built upon a solid
foundation.

OF many night, made doubly long by its
protracted agony, the rheumatic sufferer
losses to and fro on his sleepless couch, vain
~ praying for that rest which only comes by
tits and starts. His malady is one which or
binary medicines too often fail to relieve.
the efficient blood depurent Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, affords the rheumatic a re-
liable means of relief. Check the malady in
It's incipient stages, when the first Fremont
tory twinges come on, with this agreeable
medicine, and avoid years oftorture. What
ever be the rationable OF the active influence
of the Bitters upon this malady, certain ii is
that no evidence rela ting TO It's effect is m ore

to its action in cases of rheumatism. Like
all sterling remedies, however, ii deserves a

A Young Mans Fancy.

Large allowance is to be made for
the sweeping assertion of the poet
that I'm the spring a young mans
fancy lightly turns to thoughts Of
love" II certainly is not true of the
malarial young man, whose fancy, if
he has any, is Of the dull and heavy
variety. The malarial young man
marches around as the captive Of
General Debility. The readiest and
most obvious means of escape are af-
forded by S. S. s., which, without
any flourish, routs General Debility
and his malarisl allies. What is true
of the Young man is true Of the young
lady, and the whole host of sufferers.
S. S. S. is specific for malaria.
A fireworks factory in New York
