Deafness Cannot be CGred

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 inflamed condition OF
the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inAamed you have a
ru1nbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, ard unless the inflammation
can be taken otlt and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by Catarrf, which is nothing
but an infamed condition Of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars fol

WHAT IS 1T ALL ABOUT?

Why does the Populist party tinker
so much? Why doesn't it do one good
job and do it complete? Why is it al
ways hobbling around, touching this
cracking that, tripping up here, stumb-
ling over there, and bruising itself and
everything and everybody it comes In
contact with?
What would any one think OF house
wife who would start to clean up after
| breakfast, who could take a broom,
whisk it across the carpet of one room
once, pass into the next room and dust
off half a chair, rush into the kitchen
and polish just one lid of the stove,
| rustic up to the garnet and wash one
| window, drop down into the cellar and
peel half of a potato, back TO the
kitchen and clean spoon and then
back TO the first room and take an
other whisk with the broom, then an
other dust at the chair and so on over
and over again?
That is the Populist party TO dot.
| Why doesn't it do something? This
spring it is running ticket in Wichita

when a campaign comes on the Popu-

has that elevation done for the poor
