mediately after taking the oath Of Of

Fellow Citizens:-In obedience to
the will Of the people and in their
presence by the authority vested in me
by this oath, assume the arduOus and
responsible duties OF President Of the
United States, relying on the support
of my countrymen and invoking the
guidance Of Almighty God. Our faith
teaches that there is no safer reliance
than upon the God of our fathers, who
has SO sigularly favored the American
people in every national trial, and who
will not forsake us so long as we obey
His commandments and walk humbly
in His footsteps.

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an nhained con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
eustachinn tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrah, which is nothing but an in
