The Ideal Line.

The members of the Baptist Young PEG

national meeting of that body in July, should
bear in mind that there is no better equipped
line from the East, North or Northwest,
than the popular Big -Four route via CIncin-
natl or Louisville. All through passenger
trains on this line are yestibuled, equipped
with Buffet sleepers, with Hotel Dining
Cars on day trains. At Cincinnati direct
connection is made in the same depot with
the Queen & Crescent Route, the Short Line
to Chattanooga, via the famous High Bridge.

Denfne. Cannot Be Cured

10y 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 inhamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inhamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored TO its normal con
diton, hearing viii be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (eaused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.
