Deafness Cannot he 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 inhamed
condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube, When this tube is infamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing and when
Il is entirely closed deafness is the result and un-
less the Inflammation can b. taken out and this
tube restored TO its normal condition hearing will
be destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarTh, which is nothing but an In.
nammed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case

for the casting out of the Michigan

state to make up their minds that a
new democratic national convention
should be called for the earliest feas-

and to adopt platform of democratic

British investors, who up to this time,
have seemed to have monopoly of the
trade and enterprise of the world. Not
only is German money being invested
in enterprises in South America, but
the German companies are obtaining
valuable concessions in Asia, especial
Iy Persia. One German has obtained
a concession of seventy-fire years for
the construction of a railway between
'Teheran and Bagdad. The same in
terests have secured for ninety years
the right to establish electric or steam
railways between Teheran and villages
north of it. The rapid progress of the
Germans in Persia is further indicated
by the establishment of steamboat
service between Bremen and Bushire,
on the Persian gulf. A German bank
has also been established at Bushire.
