Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications rs they cannot reach
tho diseased portion of the car. There is
only one way to cure deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamcd condition Of the mu-
col,s lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamcd you have q lmmbling
sound or,impclfect 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 destroyed forever: nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrll,
which is nothing but an infiamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

BLOOD POISONING.

the disease from her; for shortly after her
death, had four large sores or ulcers,
break out on my person. I doctored for
long time, both by external application
and with various blood medicines; but, in
spite Of all that could do, the sores would
not heal. They we're obstinate, very pain.

hatefully with Il jaundicca eye. and con-

brain. Cleanliness of person bcgets clean

THE CAUSE OF DYSPEPSIA.

The primary cause of dyspepsia is lack Of
vitality the absence Of nerve force ;the loss
of the DEMONSTRATING elements Of the blood.
No organ can properly perform its func.

When the stomach - robbed of the nour.
