Last Saturday, Mother Patrick, the
new superloress of the convent here,
arrived from New Orleans in company
with Sister Camille. Mother Patrick,
who replaces Mother Ambrose, is no
stranger to many of our people, having
for q number of years occupied the po-
sition of superioress at the Nit. Carmel
Convent at Lafayette. She is said to
possess splendid executive ability and
will no doubt administer the affairs Of
the convent with great zeal and sue
cess. While We regret to lose Mother
Ambrose we are glad to have gained a
treasure in Mother Patrick.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they canaot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only way to cure deafness,
Deafness is caused by an infamed eondi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chin Tube. When this tube gets infamed
you have n rumbiing sound OF imperfect
hearing, and when il is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the in
fianation can be taken out and this Tube
restored to it's normal condition. hear1n
will be DESTROYED forever: nine cases out
