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 constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition OF the mu.
cous lining Of the Eustachtan Tube. When
this tube is inAamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, 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; nine cases
out Of ten are caused by Catarrh, which if
nothing but an inHamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any

A Good Investment.

IT there ever was any objection to
the action of the city councils action
in purchasing the fire team and wagon
and the fire alarm system, and the es-
tablisbiny of the firemans quarters,
that objection has vanished. Our fire
protection is now complete, efficient,
and reliable, and with the fire team
under the charge of Levi Hester, the
company has reached degree of per-
lection that Is the admiration of the
public. When fire alarm is rung in,
the speed of the team and the prompt
ness of the fremen is the pride of our
people, and they work at 9 fire so quick
that it is almost impossible that any
ordinary fire can do much harm. The
saving of property by the system has
already been greater than the entire
cost of the fire alarm, team and all.
With our facilities for fighting fire,
we can all feel pretty safe, and when
the fire bell taps, we merely gap, turn
over and go to sleep again.
