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 iniamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-

of the mucous surfaces.

Fortune Seeking Emigrnnts.

Many a poor family that seeks the western
wilds in the hope of winning a fortune, is
preserved from that insidious foe of the
emigrant and frontiersman-chills and fever
by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. So
effectually does that incompatible medicinal
defense fortify the system against the COM
bined influence of a malarious atmosphere
and miasma-tainted water, that protected
by it the pioneer, the miner or the tourist
provided with it, may safely encounter the
danger.

A CHAPTER ON COLDS.
Simple Precautions That May Pre-
vent Serious Consequences
Rhe DangeF OF Neglectins = @COmmon
CoIa0-serioun and often Fatal
Ma1ndfea May Result from
CereIensness.

From b News, Harrisonburg. La.
In most instances colds are the result Of
~imprudence or a lack of forethought. Even
in cases where a sudden change in the
weather or q n unavoidable exposure is re-
sponaible for the first slight cold, fresh and
more severe colds may be avoided by OBJ
serving a little care. But "a mere cold' is
such g common thing and causes so little
Inconvenience that Notwithstanding all pre-
vtous experiences We neglect to take the
most simple precautions, in the way of
wearing suitable clothing, the avoidance Of
d~raughts, etc.
One should always bear in mind the
necessity of exercising a constant vigilance
to avoid catching cold. When the tempera-
tupe in the house is higher than that out of
doors, never 60 out without putting on An
additional wrap. Never sit in a cold room
even though you do not feel chilly: And it
is better to suffer a little discomfort from
wearing heavy Undertaking than to run
the rial OF q chill.
The following letter from a lady in Sicily
Island, La, graphically illustrates the dis
PRESSING consequences tnaC are liable to fol-
low q simple cold.
"In February, 1896, / had a severe cold
which settled on my lungs, resulting in a
serious cough. My appetite failed, and [
became so weak that | was scarcely able to
walk across the room. / weighed only
ninety-four pounds, and had given up all
uope OIL recovery Wnen Il happened TO read
an article in a newspaper describing some
cures effected by DR.. Williams Pink Pills,
and concluded to try them.
Il commenced using them, and before /
had taken half a box / felt like q new crea-
ture. My appetite was restored, my cough
grew less, and | was able to sleep sounuly at
night, which l had been unable to do for
months before.
AFTER taking two boxes of the pills I was
weighed again and to my establishment my
weight was ll3 pounds, a gain of 10 pounds.
Previous to taking the pills I had suffered
with cold hands and feet, but now have no
trouble whatever from that source.
Il can truly say | am now in better health
than / have been for years. The effect of the
Pink. Pills is wonderful, and I can recon-
mend them in all cases of debility and weak
ness.
