Deafness Cannnt he Cnred

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 con stational remedies Deafness is caused by an intamed condition of the mucous lining or the Eustachian Tubs. When this tube gets perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube Is fessored to It's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrah which is nothing but an nIniiamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

The main reason why the bulk of the tax ia not collected before that date is because nearly all th9 tax payers purposeiy walt to pay ill the last week which is aimpos5tbio. Even practical business men estimate that their taxes are due the first of April but the law says they are due on the first Monday ia January and 1t is absolutely necessary that some four thousand people pay their taxes during January and February in order for us to wait on taxpayers before the time expires by law, For obvious reasons it Ia essential that the law De strictly enforced in this re- gard, and thus clearly emphasize the situa- tion in order that one may be mislead by any former precent,
