Deafness Cannot be Cared

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf.
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by.an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin.
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deaf.
ness is the result, and unless the In
aamation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused'by
catarrh. which is nothing but an In.
famed condition of the mucous sur.
faces. $50!
We will give One Hundred Dollars

catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Our silver friends are not quot
ing from Senator Stewart this
year. The following is a recent
statement made by the senator
and may be food for thought:
Silver is falling in commercial
price because of the falling off of
the demand for it as money. ia
pan has gone on a gold basis, and
SO lessons the demand for silver.
Besides this, there has been. be-
cause of universal hard times a
great falling off in purchases in
the east. You will infer that / am
not opposed to prosperity through
an increase in gold. The republic
cans are very lucky, and l con-
graduate them on the fact that
this great discovery falls within
their administration. l believe a
great deal of gold will be found
in Alaska, and it is certain to re-
store prosperity, for which repub-.
licans will claim and receive the
credit. l shall welcome its return,
whether through gold or silver.
Senator Jones of Nevada is an
other prominent silver leader of
1896, but he is broad enough to
welcome prosperity even at the
hands Of republicans. He says:
There is no room for pessim-
ism in this country. There is moth
ing in talking of silver at the pres
ert time, and my advice to my
friends in the west is to fall into
the line with the forces of pros
perity and progress. and receive
their due share of the reward.
The time has passed for the old
issues. We must turn to face new
issues and new conditions. l fire.
quentiy hear it said that this Sc
curity market isa duplicate Of the
market in IB7o. It is not. It is
more Off bull market. All mar
has to do is to get into it, 90 to
