sound very friendly put in that way,
but it saves a deal of trouble. Foreign

them pointed questions and receive Pc
culiar answers. They construe the an
swers to please themselves, and come
away to tell the world that the Arabs
are nation of liars. They are not . ma

the foreigners to mind their own Affairs

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portions OF the ear. There ia
only one way to cure deafness, and that ID
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition OF the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian tube,
When this tube is inflamed YOU have .
rumbling sound 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, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an infiamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case OF deafness Caused by catarrhl
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

"A number of gentlemen from the
city were present Sunday afternoon at
Guy G. Barnum's residence to hear him
read concerning theosophy. Most Of
the time was spent in reading portions
Of the scripture which are regarded by
Theosophists as illustrating what they
believe is the main doctrine in their
creed, viz, re-incarnation. The account
Of the creation; Jacob blessing his chill
dren; Jobs declaration as to the future;
Matthew xvii, II; st. John ix, 1; Mark
vi. 16; Revelations iii, IL, etc. Mr.. Bar
mum stated at the close of the reading
that this would be the last Of the meet
ings at his residence. He had wished to
give an opportunity to all who desired
to learn what TheosOphists believe, to
hear some, at least, OF the primary doc
trines. Recognizing the fact that prob
able stormy weather, and the distance
from town were objections to the place
Of meeting, he wished to secure q room
in the city where meetings could be
held, and library kept, accessible to
all who wished to inform themselves on
the subject.
