Deafness Cannot Be Cured

By local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is
inhamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing,an when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

WE NAVE THE JLMMIES.

TARIFF laws are like drinking men.
A man in normal health takes drink Of
whisky and he is unnaturally stimulated
for time. His blood flows fast and bis
mind is exceedingly bright and active.
Asthe effects Of the liquor begin to wane
the reaction comes, and he is drifting
back 10 lower ebb than he was before
he took the drink. He then takes anoth-
err drink, which revives him once more.
II this is continued, the drinks must be
larger and more frequent. At last the
machinery Of his system becomes wearied
at being run at such an unnatural rapid
pace and he completely breaks down
nervously, or in other words, we have a
case of the "jimmies"
The parity is this: The business of a
country is running on natural, normal
basis. A tariff law is passed. drink
taken, as it were-and Immediately the
business Of protected industries receives
an unnatural stimulation. All the
wheels Of commerce turn rapidly for a
time, but the reaction is sure to come.
Competition becomes great in the pro-
tected industries, markets get glutted,
and prices go down as low or lower than
they were before the tariff law was pass
ed. Then it is that more protection is
asked-another drink as it were, is nee
essary. This they get, and the same I'M
natural stimulation and consequent re-
action is experienced again. 1t goes on
and on in this manner, tariff laws be-
coming more frequent and higher
oftener and bigger drinks as it were
. till the country can stand the strain no
longer, and the crash comes. We call it
the panic" but it is no more nor less
than the commercial 'jim-jams. This
country is just now recovering from a
true case of tariff 'jimmies," and if the
physicians in the Congressional Kelly
Institute at Washington will Just admin
lister few shots of bi-cloride of tariff re-
form, we will soon be on our feet again.
