The political outlook for the gold
Democrats is not very cheering when
they turn their faces in the direction
of the so-called Democracy. In New
York, New Jesrey, Virginia, Ohio,
Kentucky, Iowa, and in pretty much
every State where there is to be an
election this fall, the free coinage OF
silver is being made a leading issue,
and such '1eaders" of that party as
William Jennings Byran and Richard
Parks Bland are loudly proclaiming
that there is no place in that party fol
men who do not believe in the free and
unlimited coinage of silver

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 inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachin Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be des-
trOyed forever; which is nothing but
an infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces, that is caused, nine casss out
of ten, by catarrh.
