Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local 3n)'ica ,o1s, as they can
not reach e ceased portion of
the ear. 4 e is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
tube. When this tube gets infam-
ed, you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit; and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever, Nine
cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

Have you been true to me all time, my Bertha?
If I should lay my fortune al your feet
And ask you now if you'd be mine, my Bertha,
Would you those tender, loving VOWS repeat?
Alas, alas! it cannot be, my Bertha!
realize it, and I heave sigh,
For you are married now, you know, my Ber-
tina,
And as for NEWELL married, too, am l!
