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 c~onstitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition OF the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have u 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
condition, bearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hunered Dollars for any
case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars, free.

SUBJECT TO STAY
Treatment of Point on
Citizenship Question.
Case of Chas. r. Bishop - Answer
Law Seems Clear.

II is stated in the San Francisco pa
pers that Hon. c. R. Bishop has lately
become again an American citizen and
voter, by an order of the court. On this
point the following statement made in
the Call in answer TO a correspondent.
may be Of interest:
This correspondent says: Ten years
ago | became al American citizen and
voted at the election OF 1883. I then
returned 10 Australia, resided there
about three years. took some interest
in the elections there and voted there.
I have now returned to California for
good. l wish 10 know if [ could have
registered for the coming eIectiOns?'
Under the circumstances stated the cor
respondent could not have been reg
istered. as since his return he is as
much an alien as if he had never been
naturaliZed in the United States. 4
citizen Of the United States who leaves
the United States for a foreign cOun-
try, takes up his residence there and
takes part in the affairs of that foreign
country, such as voting at elections, by
his acts renOunces his citizenship as a
citizen of the United States and as
sumes the citizenship of the country
in which he has taken up his abode
and exercised the rights of an electOr.
Upon his return TO this country, wish
ing TO be citizen thereof, he must
proceed exactly as if he had never been
here before The rule is that a man
cannot be citizen of two nations at
the same time, and he must elect which
nation he will be a citizen of. The mo-
ment he makes that election he sur
renders the citizenship of the nation he
turned his back upon.
