. 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, il11amed condition of the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inhamed you have 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 it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases Of Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condition

RATS OWNED THE CAR.
Chicago Railroad Official Has Trouble
with the Rapacious Rodents
for n Time.

The private car of burlington rail
way official, with headquarters in this
city, has been infested for nearly a
year with a brood Of rats. 1t is not
known how the vermin gained a. foot
hold in the aristocratic vehicle, but
they evidently became tired of the fare
on the freight trains and picked out the
private car as good graft" It is not
unusual for rats or mice to get into
dining and sleeping cars on railways
but this is the first instance on the
Burlington at least that they have made
their appearance within the sacred pre-
cincts of private car.
It was during trip in the west last
summer that their presence was first
noticed, but little attention was paid to
them, as it was thought that they would
stay but short time. They were first
noticed by their appearance in the
kitchen, where they seemed to like the
work of the private cook. Becoming
holder they invaded the remainder OF
the car. Poison and traps were set for
them, but they were rats of experience,
who knew the look and taste of the
"rough' and who were too wary to ven
ture inside the trap even when it was
baited with imported cheese. They con-
tinued to live on the fat of the car and
to- make livery unpleasant for the occu-
pants. The latter would awake in the
night to feel four little feet running
over the coveriids or to hear the gnaw-
ing of sharp little teeth eating away the
woodwork OF the car. For awhile the
officials carried rat terriers on his
trips. but the dogs never1got rat, and
the Official and his employees Were in de,
spair. r:+=,
On. one occasion, when the owner OF
the car had out with him one of his SUI
periors. and some members of .the3lat,
ters family, the ladies were made
hysterical by the, presence of the rats
and had"to abandon the trip and return
on regular. train. Finally the rats be-
came so bad that the car was putin the
shops and a north side rat catcher was
sent for. He brought both dogs and
ferrets, which were used to working to-
gethe1' in eXternlina ting rats. In every
nook and corner where rats cansgo the
sharp-scented ferrets found their way
and it looked as though the rats would
battle them after all. 80
The car is provided with a double
floor and it was decided that this was
the only place where the rats could have
concealed themselves. But there was
no hole big enough for the ferrets' en-
trance, so portion of the flooring was
cut out. The ferrets were let in and in
a moment seven big rats came one by
one jumping out of a hole cut for
steam pipe. But they emerged to
death, for as thAy came outa dog seized
each and broke its back.-Chicago
