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 constitu-
uonal remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
tlamed condition OF the mucous lining of the
EustachiOn Tube. When this tube is inflamed
ing, and when 1t 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 destroyed forever;
which is nothing INT an intamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.

tary.
The chairman briefly stated the
object of the meeting, which was,

R. R. officials in Philadelphia, and
ascertain from them the rates they
are going to charge on potatoes and
other produce from Franklin City
and other points on the Eastern
Shore of Va. to New York, and in
the event that the same rates cannot
be obtained as was charged the past
year the said committee was IN
structed to negotiate with any Steam
boat Co., to run line of steamers
INTO Chincoteague Inlet to Chlnco-
league Island, on which our farmers
can ship their produce. Said COM
mittee was requested to attend to
this at an early day and report their
success.
