not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that Is by con-
stitutiOnal remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have q rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it
Is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an in

Dor and highly respected by all who
knew him. In early manhood he served
in a campaign with a Laurens company
against the Seminoles in Florida, and
though advanced in life promptly in '61

in defence of his State and her honor
Hostilitles ended he resumed the peace

delighted, devoting himself to his FAM

completed four score, like a shock OF
wheat fully ripe he was gathered into
the garner.
He leaves a large family and many
