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 constitu-
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, 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 be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition OF
the mucous surface.

They are marvels of pure language,
pathos, patriotism and vigorous Eng
lish, and proved surprise not only to
the public at large but to his intimate
friends as well.
One point stands out in all of Lin
coins actions: He loved the enemies
of the union in spite of the rebellion;
and never had a vanquished nation q
warmer friend at the head Of the VIC
torious government than the confed
eracy after it had been conquered by
the union armies. At the time when
hundreds of thousands of weII-mean-

system of reconstruction on a scale of
magnanimity which had never before

rated March 4, 1861, proved himself
equal to the occasion. Instead Of
widening the breach in the republican
party, caused by the wreck of several
once promising ambitions, he called
the principal rivals for the presiden-
tial nomination to his cabinet and
tried in this way to heal the wounded
pride of Seward, Chase, Cameron and
Bates and their respective followers.
By the exercise of considerable di-
plomacy he won the support and CO.
operation of Douglas, the leader OF the
union democrats and his opponent in
many partisan fights. Having accom-
plished by stratagem more than any
president before him. he turned his
attention to the south and prosecuted
the war with all the energy and re-
sources at his command.
While president. Lincoln issued many
state documents, notably the emanci-
