Deafness Cannot be Cured

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 infiamed condition Of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is int1amed you have a rumbling
sound OF imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES With Senator
PIatt on the Situation.
Washington, April 1s.-The Mckinley
wave during the past week has met with
decided check ana it is felt here that
the opposition to the Ohio man will
grow from now on. The Maine platform
has had a noticeably good effect. The
uproar over free silver In the Democratic
ranks has had the effect of causing Re-
publicans to look to their own leaders
with especial reference to the money
question. The platform of Maine put
Mr. Reed clearly before the people sound
and safe on this great question, while
in the direction of Mr.. Mckinley it Is
only vacancy.
Congressman Aldrich says that the
statement of Mr.. Reeds canvass which
he proposes to put forth Sunday eve
ming, will show that the Maine oandi-
date has large and splendidly situated
support. General Grosvenor will of
course make a superhuman exertion in
his figures this week to show that Nc
Kinley already has the nomination, but
the events of this week have disproved
any such statement. The Mckinley men
are now waying a most desperate battle
in Illinois. They regard it all important
