Deafness Cannotbe 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 iniamed condi-
ton Of the mucous lining of the EHsta-
chin Tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have a rambling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the in
~tiamatipn can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition. hearing
will be destroyed forever: nine eases ont
ten are caused by catarrh. which is moth
ing but an infalaed condition OF tie mu-
cous surfaces.

New Work Fashion Letter.

Now that the outing season has como
the subject Of suitable gowns for travel
ing, yachting and cycling is uppermos5
in the world of fashions.
For travelling costumes, tweeds and
eheyiots, in grey and brown shades, are
more popular than any other materials.
They are made with plain skirts rather
narrower than last year. TIE bolero
is almost universally used for these
costumes and pretty silk blouses are
worn under them. Many of ou2 large
houses are trimming these suits With
narrow braid Ct decidedly contrasting
color. The seams and hens of the
skirts, also the collars, revers and Gu ifs
OF the jackets are outlined with braid.
More care is taken in modelling and
finishing cycling costumes than hereto
fore. B~lilliantine make q Very cool
dress for this purpose aud is we'll liked
because it does net catch the dust.
Skirts are divided and not very wide.
The boomers are made scaRt around
the hips and quite full below the knee.
The jackets worn with these costumes
are made tight fitting in the back with
loose double breasted front.
We are indebted to A. Mcdowell &
Co, 4 West 18th Street, New York, for
the above information. This firm pub
fishes the only cheap imported Fashion
Journals in this country. LA Mode

30 cents a copy. Each journal gives
monthly a lesson On practical dress
making which is very valuable to both
the professional and ameteur dress
maker.
