Friend" This successful remedy is net
one of the many internal medicines adj

effective in adding strength and elasticity
to those parts of woman organism which
bear the severest strains of childbirth.
The lininent may be used at any and

perfect will be the result, but it has been
used during the last month only with
great benefit and success.

Her commander, who appeared to be
much crestfallen, having failed to &C.
complish the mission entrusted to him,
refused to discuss the matter beyond
saying the failure of the expedition
was due to the fact that the Cubans
were unable to meet the landing party
at the rendezvous, and the Americans
could not land supplies with no one to
receive them

Deafness Cannot he 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 remedie
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed 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 it's
normal condition, hearing will be des-
troyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is no.
thing but an infiamed condition of the
