Deafness Can not Be Cured

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 rem
edies. Deafness is caused by the in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When the
tube gets inflamed you have rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when il is closed deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
It's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

A HOME REMEDY
For the Cure Of Colds and La
Grippe.

La grippe and influenza, cold in the
head or on the lungs, are not only die
tressing maladiea, but are very
dangerous as well. Cold on the chest
Is an inflammation affecting the air
passages and blood vessels leading
into and through every portion of the
lungs. The inflammation may be so
violent as to cause death in short
time IL not quickly reduced, or It may
linger and drag as bad cold Of more
orless severity. What is true of a
cold lie equally true of la grippe. Even
a mild condition is liable TO turn
quickly into acute pneumonia, or
what is worse galloping consumption.
The breathing tubes become SO sensi-
tive that the least exposure, the
slightest draught, change of clothing
or the weather, Ia sufficient to cause
fresh cold, terrible cough, pain and
fever. Caugh is the foremost symp-
tom and it may be harsh and dry, or

pering, or loss of voice, chilly sensa-
tons, sore throat, aching joints and
of the head. AS the disease
advances there are night sweats hec-
tic fever, loss of flesh, splitting OF
blood or hemorrhage, and the
patient has the appearance and symp-
toms of consumption. The old way
of treating a cold is too well known
to need any explanation here the new
way---the better way-is with Light
ming Hot Drops. This remedy is
especially valuable in colda, la grippe,
influenza, caughs, hoarsness, etc. In
deed for la grippe and influenza it
may truly be said TO be a specie,
while for breaking up a cold or re-
lieving hoarseness it is without an
equal.
