Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications us they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
intiamed condition of the mucus lill-
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this Tube is inflamed you have rum.
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflama-
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroy ed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in

capacity. The work that should have
been done early in the campaign was
not taken up until ten days OF the
election, and then it was not done by
the committee. We had four good
speakers who were ready and willing
to make a school house campaign,
but the smart Eleck who had the DO
sition Of Chairman of the county
committee declined to make appoint
ments for them, and thus the cam
paiSn dragged until the last days
when the people outside so loudly
called for school house meetings that
the PLAIN DEALER arranged for

other places. Frank E. Howard, A.
R. McCook, w. H. Hughes and VIII.
Hanson would have been glad to
have make school house campaign
for the party, had the chairman OF
the committee made appointments
for them. The majority of the com.
mittee had no purpose or object in
the position but to be in liue for
distributing the postoffices aud other
spoils of office in case of success.
This was their only object, and for
this Deny Lyon sought the place of
member of the congressional com.
uittee and obtained it, by the use of
proxies given to him and to his hired
man.. who he had made chairman of
the comfy com mittee for the same pur-
pose. The arduous duties sought they
will not be called upon to perform,
and until the party will place mea in

terest than the distribution of public
patronage, it will not have, or merit
success in the county, nor will 1t
meet with or deserve success while

low prices and the consequent hard

That policy, no matter by whom car
ried out will produce the same result.

in it's result, than government pol
