A QUORUM OF CONGRESS.
Much Business Is Transacted Without

A majority of each house. under the

Che transaction of business. If q quorum
is not present, and the fact is disclosed
by a Yea and nay vote, business must
stop until a quorum is secured. But the
members present are empowered by the
constitution to adjourn from day to
day and ito compel the attendance ofab-
sent members, in such manner and I'M
provi(e.' \ great deal of business is
done in both the senate and house
when quorum is not present, the alb
scnce of quorum not being officially
disclosed by a roll call. The sergeant

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 indamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets intiamed 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 con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an intiamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
