DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

Deafness is caused by an Eusta chian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear ing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

spair with which tho revelation has come

What must Spain think OF the announce

IN utter disgust, give up Weyler as a
solf-confessed failure. and appoint Gene

And how can she expect the United
