Deafness Cannot 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 condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound Grim
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 its normal condi-
ton, 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 surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Looking Ioward a New Church.

the 10th to see what they would do in
regard to building a new church, left the
matter in the hands of the trustees of
the Lawrence fund, 6. G. WinslOw, F.
W. Mason and F. H. Shepherd, to find
out all they could in regard to the cost
OF a new church, etc. and report to the
society later. This church has been do
ing business over so years. and has
never had to call for help in any way.
Now the building is in bad shape, the
heating being done by old stoves. They
are all right tor the summer months, but
in the winter months they are not in it.
We think now is the time to build a
new church. The society have a fund of
fully three thousand dollars on hand that
we understand can be used as they wish.

with pistols. Mr.. Cross was three wears

by falling from a train and breaking a

go through the army and not get a bull
let, but come back to Vermont and be
hit thus.

THE SLAVES STORY.
1t is About a Rebellion that Ended in
Flat Failure.

Flat Failure
That wise old slave. Esop, tells how the
Jaws and the arms refused to supply and to
grind food for the stomach which, they said
was a lazy thing living on its neighbors.
and grew weak. AS what we call science
did not exist in Esop's day, it isn't likely
that even he understood the iull force of this
fable.
We understand to-day the supreme i'm
portance of treating the stomach well. for
the consequences of indigestion extend from
ton there are so many skinny, pale, blood
less men and women in the world. Nothing
VIII tatten and strengthen them unless they
can md a food that will pass from the stom-
ach into the blood without digestion. Pas
kola is such a p~re-digested food.
1t gives me great pleasure" says DIR. G..
w. Babcock. of Chelsea, Mass, " to speak
in the highest terms of your delightful prep
aratlon, Paskola. l have lately prescribed
1t for one of my lady patients, and 1 am
greatly surprised at its wonderful power as
a flesh producer. The young lady has been
out of health and losing flesh. She began
taking Paskola as directed. Her weight
was 1O3 ponds. She has taken four bottles
and now weighs 100 pounds, and is looking
much improved. She says she feels like a
new creature. This change has been brought
about by Paskola."

Gentlemen The bottle of PaskoIa received
a week ago to-day and I i'm mediately COM
menced the use of it, in connection with Po-
land water. 1 am feeling very much better
and have increased 1s4 pounds. During the
elght days use of Paskola, no eructions of

this condition continues, I shall be a devotee
OF Paskola and will prescribe it when indi-
Gated to my patients.
