DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

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 constitu.
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in.
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian tube. When this tube gets inflam.
ed 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 it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an infamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of deafness Caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir.

Local retail tobacco dealers have been notified that another increase Ill price is soon to be made on the most popular brands of eastern cigarettes. The cost to the retailer has already gone up 3Oc per 100, and an additional raise of 50c is antici- pated.
 Cigarettes that have more than held their own for years at ten for 5e will soon be sold at 1c straight or two packages for be. The increase will be made on all goods manufac- tnfed by the trust. 1t is almost cer- tain that prices on St. Louis cIgaret- tes will not be raised, despite the action of the eastern people. Many retailers have discontinued handling the trust cigarettes since the first raise was made. There was no money in them at the old price, and when the 50c additional is tackled OH the present price, the majority of dealers will not renew their supply, unless there is a heavy demand for the goods at twenty for 15e.-Arlan- sas Democrat.
