His Own Funeral Sermon

George Inwood, Of No. 7oe Union
street has written the sermon which
will be delivered At his own funeral
Moreover, to make certain that this
sermon shall be fully understood, that
there may be no faltering or hesitancy
over the blindly written words, he ha,
caused his funeral production to bs
printed in large. bold type One hun.
bred copies were struck off. These are
kept in a strong box away from the
light, only to be produced on the day of
the funeral Having thus arranged for
the statements of fact and belief to be
uttered, Mr.. Inwood went step fur

will be opened before the funeral serv.
ices, for reader. Any person who ia
sectarian in belief is hopelesslv dis
qualified. The heirs will fail of full
fllment of the conditions upon
which requests are predicated is
that II any member of any sect
enunciates the words This necessarily
bars out all clergymen. From this it
should not be inferred that Mr.. Inwood
has no religious belief OF himself he
says: II am q full believer in the life
and doctrins of Jesus Christ, but | am

SCIENCE HELPS YOU TO BE

From the Era, Bradford, Pa.
Too few people are acquainted with

pass that people know themselves. that
all physicians are abreast Of the
worlds knowledge. much Of our suf-
iering Will come to an end. Medical
scientists are not delving into the
depths of knowledge for the mere BEN
eht OF brother physicians. but for the
benefit OF the world. They place in

man means Of recovery. TO the par
ent they give the power OF saving the

Goctored for the a!lment for long
time-in fact nearly all her nfe-and
had never received anything more than
temporary relief. During the last three
years her condition grew worse and
was aggravated by an affection OF the
heart Her health was so poor that she
found 1t almost impossible to perform
her household duties
II never believed in proprietary med

Deafness Can Not he Curea

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-
dition OF the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When the tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t Is en-
tirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out Of ten are caused
by Catarrh. which is nothing but an in
caMed condition Of the mucous sur
