Deafnes sCannOt be Cured

by local applica tlons as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that ia by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets infamed you have a rumbling or
imperfect hearing. and when 1t is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition. hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
ia nothing but an infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (cansed by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Oatarrh

Ihen'S when we come down
to earth again and begin to
think Of the practical things
of life. After the effusion of
sentiment it's a good time to
get back to bed rock judgment.
It's a glorious season to buy,
because this is the season when
the knife is in the profits and
you get the goods at way
down figures. One might say
it is the midway season--be-
tween the Holidays and the
opening of spring trade-just
the season for bargains. At
this season it will pay one to
buy even goods that are not
required for immediate use
prices are SO low.
Saur & Balsley have many
useful and ornamental articles
left over from their big Holi-
day trade which will be given
almost at your own price, in
order to make room for goods
which will soon be in season.
Then their assortment of books
is still large and complete, and
this is just the time to buy
books, good and standard
books at that, cheap, very
cheap, in fact surprisingly
cheap. As nothing adds more
20 the comfort Of a home than
books, now is the time to take
advantage of this opportunity
to secure them. This sale is
an excellent chance to replen-
ish your libraries, if you are
SO fortunate as to have one,
and if not it is a good time to
commence the foundation OF
one. Saur & Balsley are head.
quarters for books.
The other departments Of
their establishment are com.
plete in every particular.
Their drugs are always pure
and fresh and their facilities
for compounding prescriptions
are the best. In patent medl.
cine they take the lead, keep.
ing in stock all the old aud
new discoveries in this line.
Their paints and oils have a
standard reputation for purity
and lasting qualities. The
paints sold by them are old and
reliable brands, which have
been before the public for
years, and L. We always given
satisfaction. The wall paper

As,spring npE reaches, house
wives will commence to think
Of re.painting and re-papering,
in order to brush up the ap-
pedrance Of the inside. of their
homes. Saur & Balsley would
request that all such call in
and see them before making
their selections elsewhere, as
they pride themselves upon
their stock Of paints and wall
papers and decorations, and
can offer prices which are hard
to duplicate. ,.....S ,s. "A /. !. \

were for much colder weather. The
snow lies 16 inches on the level and is
badly drifted. All street Car traffic is
suspended and the fortunate possessors of
carriages and sleighs have gathered a
harvest in quarters and half dollars by
conveying persons of both sexes from
their homes to their places of business.
