Deafness 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 constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
difion of the mucous lining of the EuS-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
an imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be ia
ken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inhamed condition OF the mu-
cous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

five must part company with those
who believe in government of syn

Gates, may we not appeal with conf
dence to those who believe that a
government of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people, should not
perish from off the earth ? If these
men who pride themselves upon their
prominence in the business world, and
who glory in the title of business men,
are going to make business out Of
politics, and are going to use their
ballots to increase their incomes, |
beg you to consider whether the great
toiling masses of this nation have not
right to make business out of poll
tics once and protect their business
