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 intiamed
dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it
is entirely closed, Deafness is tie result, and I'M
less the inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition. hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an intiam-

The Populists and Democrats of the
Thild district did not fuse as proposed.
One umbrella would have sheltered the
Populists who assembled at Pittsteld last
Thursday, and here is a press report OF
their proceedings:
L. r. Talbot OF Skowhegan called the
Popullst convention to order at 10 o. clock.
He was elected chairman, and delivered
an address. Dr. A. W. Rich of Brooks
was chosen secretary. Dr.. B. F. Lancas
ter o. Madison was unanimously NOM
mated as candidate fer Congress. and
made a speech OF acceptance. Only three
delegates were present.
The Democratic convention was not
much larger, pr portionately, as less than
% delegates We're present. Fred W. Plais-
ted OF Augusta was nominated with but
one dissenting vote, that of c. y. Morton
OF Augusta. When the Democrats were
distributing the spoils MI Plaisted was
ignored, and this bestowing of an empty
honor can hardly be considered consola-
ton prize 1t is worthy of note that the
Democrats of the Third district declared
for free silver at the ratio of Is to l and
renewed their allegiance to Bryan.

Ex-Governor Burleigh has never posed
credit than was his due in that direction.
That in other directions he is well equip
ped has been manifested in his official
papers as State Treasurer and Governor.
AT Waterville last week he demonstrated
that he could make speech suited to the
occasion. For example the critical Port
land Advertiser says:
Elk Governor Bureigh's speech in ac-
ceptance of his nomination for Congress-
yesterday was admirable 1t was brief,
modest, sensible and to the point, saving
neither too much nor too little. but hav-
ing Tone OF manly sincerity that showed
that what was said was meant. The COM
ing member from the Third district is a
man of deeds rather than words. but he
can make a speech when occasion de-
mands, and a good one.
And the Watervilie Mail said:
Against the earnest advice of his ply
stefan and friends Mr.. Burleigh came to
tie convention at Waterville on Wednes-
day, and delivered an address which
every one who listened to it uniteS in pro-
nouncins gem. Nothing but strong
will power enabled him to rise above his
physical weakness and accomplish this re-
suit. Gov. Burleigh has been advertised
both in and out of the State as man I'M
able to speak in public, but those who
listened to his eloquent address before the
district convention, with it's grace of die
ton, its depth of feeling, and it's singular
appropriateness to the occasion, need not
be told that this impression is an errone-
Gus one.

was decidedly menacing, but the police
made no effort to dispense the mob
and the blue jackets determined to fight
their way through the mob to the

were exchanged, and when reinforce

police dispersed the coolies, and the
sailors boarded their respective ships
