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 con- stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infiamed you have rumbling sound or i'm perfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will De destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed condition of the mucuous sur faces.
 We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

usual at least ten days in which to appear
before the presbytery and reply to the
charges.
In an excited debate which followed DIR.
John Hall said that in view of the dsclara-
tion of DR.. Briggs to the seminary directors
disclaimiug Intentional heresy, the matter
should b. dropped, but only after DR..
Briggs was enjoired from teaching his
doctrine to pupils in the seminary. He
thought in all Christian spirit, however,
that the committee should first be thanked
for its conscientious labors. He offered an
amendment TO that effect. After more
heated discussion, DIR. Halls motion was
put and received q halr-hearted yea A
chorus of resonant mays" settled its fate.
DR. ALExANpER's MOTION LOST.
DIR. Alexander's motion was put to the
test of roll call. 1t stood tor the dismis-
sal of the committee and stoppage Of all
judicial proceedings. Dr. Briggs listened
to the roll call with some anxiety. His
friend, Prof Brown. counted the vote as it
went along and DIR. Briggs looked over his
shoulder to see it. The vote was as follows:
Yeas, 62 elders, IL; clergymen, 500; nays,
81 elders. %; clergymen, 44;l. The mo-
tion was lost. Then the original motion
was adopted, confirming the recommended
tion of the committee that DIR. Briggs be
served with a copy Of the charges and
stand trial.
The two votes indicate clearly that a
very small majority is in favor, trying DR..
Briggs The fact that the ma ajority Of the
clergy was in favor Of shutting off the trial
and discharging the committee was very
pleaIing to Or. Briggs. During ali the
heated discussion he sat as unconcerned as
the verest outsider. Occasionally he con-
suited with his supporters, Dr. Thompson,
Prof. Brown and others.

Presbyterian church to join the Episcopal
church. tried to. read speech comparing
the two churches. but was quickly called

scarcely what would be expected from a
body of clergymen and elders After the ex-
cite:aent of DR.. Briggs case has subsidized
it is said that the future sessions of the
meeting will be carried on in a more Chris
tian spirit.
