Oder, did you write that note to your

JOURNAL Is compelled to ''renig," so
to speak. That is, it addressed itself
the following missive after consider
able holiday thought and od interim
labor:
Did you ever have dyspepsia in an aggravat-
ed form-feet cold as Chinook lecture, and
your head unduly warm?
Nervous restless and uneasy-il disposed
to work or play; anxious, fearful, peevish
sleepless, and unhappy night and day?
If you never had the feelings so depicted in
this screed; if you never had indigestion
you re lucky dog indeed
have heard preachers version of the
sinners fate below-in land of hand pick ed
sorrow-an eternity of woe.
| have read Of the "Interno," once word
painted at its best, where the wicked cease
from troubling and the weary never rest
All these horrors have | pondered in
imaginative thought till found myself I'M
balanced and my feelings overweight
But a stomach, like big drum cylinder all
out of gear, gives man the best conception
of the torrid atmosphere of the land where
sinful Fair Plays" in the future will abound,
while the wheels of life eternal circle round
and round and round.

Deafness Cannot be Cured bv locs

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local
applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is one
one way to cure Deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an intiamed condition of the mucous
Inning of the Eustachan Tube. When this
tube gets intiamed, you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and I'M
less the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition

out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an intlamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
