Dearness 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 constitu-
tiOnal remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infam-
ed you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness Is the result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catsrrh. which is nothing but an in1amed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

There have been a number of
rumors of a change of management
in the Bullion Bank, of Carson, dur

known yet just what changes will
be made. It is known, however,
that the institution is in shaky
condition, and that the defalcation
of Brown is said to amount to about
$4,000. Other members of the in
stitution are said to have made
overdrafts to quite a large amount,
and it was for the purpose of get
ting new blood and more money
into the institution that change of
management was sought. Brown
is said to be in Sacramento, and the
strange part of the matter is that SO
