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 constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infamed you have a
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. nor

forever; nine cases out Of ten are caused by

.rours to Florida.

No district in America presents, during
the Winter season, so many varied attract
ions as the State of Florida. Besides its de-
lightful climate, which to one escaping
from the cold and unhealthful changes of
the North seems almost ethereal, it is pre-
eminently land of sport and pleasure.
Along its eleYen hundred miles of salt
water coast and its twelve hundred fresh
water lakes are fish of almost every con-
ceivable variety, from the migratory tribes
common to Northern waters to the tarpon,
pompano, and others of more tropical
character. Nowhere in all our broad land
can the angler find a greater variety of
game or better sport.
Here also the most enthusiastic hunter
finds safety. Deer, turkeys, bears, panth-
ers. and wild cats roam at large through
the more sparsely settled regions, while
birds of all kinds may be found in abund-
ance throughout the State. The more novel
sport of alligator and manatee hunting
may also be INDUCED in by the more adj
venturous tourist.
With its matchless climate, its orange
groves. its rivers and lakes, its bathing, its
fishing and hunting, and its extensive for
ests, Florida presents unrivaIed attractions
for the valetudinarian, the lover of nature,
the sportsman, and the explorer.
To this attractive State the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has arranged four per-
sonally conducted tours during the season
of 1897, leaving by special train January
26, February and %, and March o. The
first three tours will admit ofa sojourn Of
two weeks in this delightful land: tickets
for the fourth tour will be valid to return
until May 81 by regular trains.
Rates for the round trip, $4,000 from
New York. $500 from Philadelphia, and
rates from other points.
