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

this tube gets infamed you have a rumbling
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con.
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh.

OF the mucous surfaces.

this country, who. unable to become

their taxes, whether or not the plea of
non residence on part of an alleged cit

New York TO swear off a personal tax
of 100000 assessed upon him in the
latter city. On putting in his mean
little plea, he was asked by one of the
Tax Commissioners If he had given up
his citizenship in this country. to which
he replied that he had not.
Verify, this class of citizens who en-

of American citizenship, but escape all
its duties and burdens by living abroad
is becoming entirely too numerous. and
entirely too heavy to carry Soon this
class owning all the property of this
country capable of yielding an income
