Highwaymen on Wheels.

A wheelman of west 46th Street, New
York, was not long since attack ed,
robbed and left senseless by two high
waymen mounted on bicycles in Cen
trail Park. Repeated accounts of rob
berries by men mounted upon the swift
revolving wheel appeared in the papers
in various parts of the country. In
each instance, so far as learned, they
have evaded the police. Those depre-
dators of the health, diseases of the
kidneys and bladder, will likewise in
all likelihood escape arrest, and pursue
their atrocious career unchecked, unless
they are arrested in the outset by the
potent Intervention of Hos etter's Stom'
ach Bitters, the finest diuretic, SO well
as tonic, known to modern times. The
genial preventive name is the best
known medicinal safeguard not only
against renal, but also rheumatic and
malarial disorders. 1t is at the start
that disease is the more easily and com
pletely overcome. The use of the Bit
ters is followed by the happiest results
in cases of dyspepsia, constipation
liver complaint and nervousness.

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 infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus'
tachian Tube. when this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube be restored to its nor

forever; nine csses out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
