he wants the government to deal with
him on the same basis that it deals
with other uen.
Because he wants more than As

Because he kicks against freight
rates that make the railroad owners
rich and him poor.
Because he kicks against paying rs

D6afness 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 infiamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tuEe gets infiamed you have rumbling
sound OF Imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless:fhe Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever ;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarTn,
which is nothing but an inhamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

The Puzzle Solved.

Perhaps no local disease has puzzled and
bafled the medical profession more than
nasal catarrh. While not Immediately
fatal it is among the most nauseous and
disgusting ills the flesh is heir to, and the
records show very few or no cases of radi-
cal cure of chronic catarrh by any of the
many modes of treatment until the intro
duction of EIy's Cream Balm a few years
ago. The success of this preparation has
been m ost gratifying and surprising.

those who spoke for the banks and the

an obj ct lesson so that they might be

lesson.
