Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear Their, is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by all infiamed condictiOn of the mu-
cous 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 the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
OF the mucous surfaces.

American Securities Abroad.

The sales of American securities have
been according to London advices, very
large abroad of late. Ii this state of things
holds, there will be an increasing influx of
British gold into this market. This dem
Onstrates the faith abroad in the stability
of our credit. There Is another point of
faith for which the people not only of this,
but foreign countries have good ground for
credence, and that is belief in the efficacy
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters for inorganic
maladies which affect the stomach, liver,
bowels, kidneys and nerves. Dyspepsia,
bilousness, constipation and rheumatism
are cOnqured by 1t. 1t hastens GONZALES

There is no JOY in this world equal to the
happiness of womanhood. A woman's
health is her dearest possession. Good
looks, good times, happiness, love and its
continuance, all depend upon her health.
Almost all of the sickness of women is trace
able directly or indirectly to some derange-
ment of the organs distinctly feminine.
Troubles of this kind are often neglected
because very natural and proper modesty
keeps women away from physicians, whose
insistence upon examination and local treat
ment is generally as useless as it is common.
