There is anly one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the muscous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out, and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an intlamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by TAX

ROCHESTER, Aug. 7.-Nrs. Isabella
Beecher Hooker of Hartford, Conn, at
present visiting Miss Susan B. Anthony in

ginia F Smith, city missionary of the Hart
ford City mission, as baby farmer Mrs
Hooker said to-day to an Associated Press
representative:
1.-THE simple truth is that Mrs. Virginia
F. Smith, as one of the members of the
state board of charities, obtained an act
from the legislature which required that
the infants born or cared for in our poor
houses should hereafter be taken to county
homes and maintained there till old enough
to be admitted into families. This excited
the anger of certain selectmen whose i'm
perfect discharge of the duties of their Of
fee had been exposed by Mrs. Smith. and
a series of prosecutions has resulted, of
which these false charges are the latest
manifestations
