Deafness Cannot be iureG

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 inhamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is intlamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Dea fness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

President Cleveland left Washington for
Gray Gables Monday, and will probably not
return until September, unless some important
question requires his attention. Mrs. Cleve-
land had preceded her husband.
President Cleveland has with him Private
Secretary Thrrber, who has taken q cottage on
a farm adjoining Gray Gables. where he will
remain as long as tho Cleveland family is North.
The Presidents servants are North. SO that for
the time being the Executive residence of Nh.
Cleveland will be on the Massachusetts coast
rather than in Washington.
The departure was accompanied by lack
or o.tentation, and before many people knew
Of the Presidents intention 20 leave the city
he was well on his way to New York. His CON-
panioBs on the trip were DIR. 0R,illy, bis Army
physician. and Mr.. Thurber. DIR. OReilly
will remain at Gray Gables but few days,
when he will return here.
During the absence OF the President the
White House will remain open 20 the pnblic as

old building last Summer left IL in such excel
lent condition that there will be little repair

10 the public, but no general work on great
scalo is contemplated. The outside Of the
building is as white as the snow. The con-
