Deafness Cannot be Cured


by local applications, az they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling soundor imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
tlammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con
tntion, hearing will he destroyed for
ever; nine cases out OK ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but al
intlamed condition Of the mucous

iron handles on them, and can be
very easily carried from place to

that the officers here have made So
far! is that the people at Taylor's
Falls left the keys sticking in the
locks, and when the baggage smash
ers handled the boxes, nearly all the
keys were broken of in the key holes
close. Register Barto and Clerk

Deal Gently With The Erring.

Deal gently with the erring!
Ye know not Of the power
With which the dark temptation came
In some unguarded hour.
Ye may not know how earnestly
He struggled nor how well,
Until the hour OF weakness came,
And sadly thus he fell.
CHORUS.
Forget not thou hast often sinned,
And sinful yet must be!
Deal gently with the erring one
AS God hath dealt with thee.
Think gently of the erring!
Oh do not thou forget,
However darkIy stained by sin,
He Is thy brother yeti!
Heir Of the self same HERITAGE
Child OF the selt-same God!
He hath but stumbled in the Path,
Thou hast in weakness trod.
Speak gently Of the erriug!
For is il not enough.
That Innocence and peace have gone,
Without thy censure rough?
1t sure must be weary lot;
That sin crushed heart 10 bear,
And they who share q happier fate,
Their chidings we'll may spare.
Speak kindly to the erring!
Thou yet may st lead them back,
With holy words and tones of love,
From misery's thorny track;
Forget not thou hast often sinued,
And sinful yet must be!
Deal gently with the crsing one,
AS God has dealt with thee!
