Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannoS
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness
and that is by CO Institutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition OF the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachisn Tube. When this tube gets
intiamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when it is en-
tirely closed Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be TAX
en- out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever: nine cases out OF ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (eaused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

WASHINGTON, July IL, 'o8.
President Mckinley has the whip
hand Of the situation, and he doesn't
intend that either talk about peace or
the surrender Of the Spaniards at San
tiago shall interfere with his plans.
II TIE destruction of Cervera's fleet
and the Spanish defeats at Santiago
have convinced Spain that it is time to
beg for peace, she must say so. She
can accomplish nothing by talking
peace unofficially, nor through the in
PREVENTION of other powers. This
country does not intend to allow any
other country to have any hand either
in obtaining peace for Spain or in ar
ranging the terms of peace. Spain can
have the terms Of peace whenever she
chooses to ask for them, and they will
not be deviated from, nor will they be
offered until they are asked for. Mean
while the war is going to be pushed.
1t is expected, at the Navy Depart
ment that Commodore Watson's fleet,
which is going to the coast OF Spain,
Will get started this week, and that, by
