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 tube gets inflamed you have q rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored TO its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condition
OF the mucous surfaces.

impossible to recover them for several
days. Then work will probably have
to be done by divers.
The Blairmore was anchored about
half a mile off the Union iron works in

early part of the night she was held
only by one anchor. But at four
o'clock yesterday morning. when a

anchors were dropped and her fasten-

At seven o'clock the wind sudden

bow, lifted her completely out of the
