Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
iDfamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is lDflAmed you have
a rumbing sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
ditiOn, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh. which is nothing but an
iDflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

ONE PROTEST MADE.
But the Fourth Street Sewer Assessment
is Confirmed.

The board of public works held a
meeting Monday to confirm the
assessments levied for the cOnstruc-
tion of the sewer on Fourth street
from Plum to &c feet south Of the
south line of Jackson street, and to
confirm the assessment levied for
matchmaking the alley in block
fourteen, No objection was raised to
the latter and it was confirmed.
Geo T. Barr entered a protest on
behalf of the owners of lot ten, block
ten, Warren's addition, to any assess
ment being levied against that lot,
on the ground that the sewer is of no
benefit to the lot. The sewer was
too high, he said.
The point was raised that the lot
appeared in the printed notice as
owned by w. w. P. Mcconnell and
Mrs. D. A. Swan, Mr.. Barr explained
that he had purchased Mr.. Nc
Connell's interest in the property,
which is at the corner of Fourth and
Jackson streets. The purchase was
made about two and a half years ago,
and is on record.
President Burgess asked whether
the trouble did not lie in the fact
that the house is too low.
Mr.. Barr replied that he did not
think so. If the lot was filled, the
basement couldn't be raised.
Engineer Thompson said that the
sewer will enter the house a foot and
a half above the cellar floor, and coulo
be Aade of practical service.
President Burgess said that hi:
view of the matter was that it was ir
the same condition as much of the
property that was improved years
ago, and changes Of streets grades
have been made since.
Engineer Thompson said that the
street grade was established in 1865
in this case.
Mr.. Barr thought that the pipe
would be so high up that it woulC
freeze.
The board decided to confirm the
assessment
