sure cure for coughs, colds, whOOping

with other remedies, even if they are
urged on you as just as good as DR..

Deafness cannot be cured by local applica-
tiOns as they cannot reach the diseased por-
ton of the ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional RENE
dies. Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dit1on of the mucous lining of the eustachian
tube. When this tube is infamed you have
rumb1ing sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can be TAX
en- out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing Will be destroyed forever;

Dancing Masters Decide to Make Pop

Boston, Sept. 11.-Today's session of
the American Society of Professors of
Dancing was devoted to a discussion of
the various dances that are before the
society for its approval and of proposed
reforms in the methods of dancing.
The Boston Dip received a deal of
attention because of the abuses that it
has suffered and it was decided to pop
ularize it. The dip was illustrated to
the delegates by President Gilbert in
the manner in which it is danced by the
better dancers.
That part of the dance in which the

dancer starts the step with the left foot
backward. The second measure is a
step backward with the right foot,
turning slightly upon the heel with the
third count of the second measure, get
ting forward with the left foot, the
right finishing with the last two move
mentS of the waltz step made upon the
third count of the measure. These four
measures are repeated, after which one
waltz turn is made during two meas

ment are made and two of the waltz
with a turn to the left, followed again
by two dip movements, which COM

very slight, with a long, slow, gliding
movement.
