Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application 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 inhamed condition 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 the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an intlamed condition of the mucous sur

Death of Mrs. Harriet DOrSctt.

Mrs Harriet Dorset, widow of the late
Mr.. T. Jefferson Dorset, of Anne Arun
del county, died suddenly on Friday night
last at the home of her grand daughter,
Mr.. Thomas Dobyns, in Washington.
She had been suffering from an attack of
the grip, but was SO much improved in
health and strength that her speedy re-
covery was expected. Her sudden death
was. therefore, surprise to her frien Is
and relatives.
The deceased was 81 years of age and
had large circle of friends in this and in
other states. Although SO old, her mental
faculties were unimpaired, and she was
most delightful companion for the young
as we'll as for those of maturer years.
Mrs. Dorset was lady of unusual natural
cndowments, which were embellshed by
careful education and rich culture.
Almost all of her early associates had
long since departed, but her "reminiscences
of them and of her early life were very vi
vid and interesting. She was devoted to
company and, being cultured and intellect
ual, was an agreeable conversationalist and
a charming correspondent. Her friends
were devotedly attached to her, and she
never seemed to lose interest in them.
Mrs. Dorset leaves four children and a
large number of grand and great grand
children. Her surviving children are Mr..
T. Jefferson Dorset, of Tennessee, Mrs.
Emily NJ. Clagett, and Mrs. Hollie Berry,
of this county, and Mrs. Lyons, of Alex
andria, Va.
The remains were taken to Annapolis
on Monday. and from there carried to
Davidsonville where the funeral services
were conducted by Rev. Mr.. Curtis. The
interment was in the old family burying-
ground on a farm near Davidsonville.
The large attendance of her friends at the
funeral was significant expression of the
loving esteem in which Mrs. Dorset was
held by all who knew her.
