Deafness Cannot be Cured ez<z

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 iniIamed CON
dition of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
intlamed 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 des-
troyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is no.
thing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused ty

The brilliant achievement of Com
modore Dewey in sweeping from
the seas the Pacific squadron OF

the most brilliant naval victories
ever won. Early on oundaym morn

war vessels. supported as they
were by powerful shore batteries,
and in two hours had destroyed or
disabled every Spanish vessel, ten
in all, and Siienced the forts. it
was the WelI-considered act of a
brave man and an able commodore
The daring was not that Of the
headstrony, who was careless of re-
sulsts, but a Well-planned descent
upon thoroughly equipped foe,
to surprise whom was an advan-
tage worth riSIting much to obtain.
1t is true that in the open the vic
tory would not have been so re-
mafkabIe, as Commodore Dewey's
vessels were the stronger, attic 1gh
not so many, he having bot six to
oppose SPANS ten. but the bril-
liancy of he act was in ITS dash
and daring in entering a protectet
harbor, and engaging the Ell ny
in its own waters, which were prO-
Vided with every ~mears of offeA-
siVe and defensive war fare.
All honor to Commodore Dewey
He has written his name high
upon the scroll of fame amid the
great naval fighters of the Worlt
He is 4 typical American officer,
and his glory is shared by the
country which made him possible.
The naval officers Of the United
States have ever won renoWn in

at present there is very Signjii-
