There is only one way to cure deafness

Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-

Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing. and when II is

and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tubo restored to its normal

The Florida T1mes-Union reports a
lively adventure which lately befell Mr..
w. A. Gilbert He was on a hunting
and fishing cruise IN Nassau Sound,
and morning deserted an alligator
which seemed to be In q doze, with part
Of his head %protruding from the water.
1t looked to be a monster, and Mr..
Gilbert was at once seized with q desire
to possess It. Crack went the gun.
ard the alligator leaped halfway out
Of the water. Then he churned II into
q bloody foam, while the hunter poured
eight more bullets into him as rapidly
as he could Then the monstrous crca-
ture lay still. To all appearance he was
dead.
Mr.. Gilbert took off his clothes and
swan u to u his game. He had
just succeeded In getting q 0 p around
the ~alligator's tail, when without an
instant's warning the fellow wheeled
about, his mouth wide open. ready to
devour his prosecutor.
With great presence of mind Mr.. Gil
bert dived When he rose to the sur
face, the alligator saw him. and again
came for him. Again Mr.. Gilbert dived.
Three times this trick was repeated,
and finally the hunter got safely ashore.
He had had enough of hunting and be-
ing hunted for one day.
