Civ of Mexico Earthouake.


 W. R. Coats, jr-, formerly stenog- rapher in c. NJ. Sargent's office in Prescott, but now located in the City of Mexico, in a private letter to A. E. Taylor, gives the following graphic description of the earth quake there on January 24:
 "We had 8 h. of a time here yesterday afternoon. Was sitting at my desk, with chair leaned back against the wall, reading a letter from home, when, all at once, l com- menced to grow dizzy. Did not think much about 1t st the time, at- tributing it to a rush of blood to the head. However. when my chair reeled and I caught myself from falling, saw that sll the employees in the office were rushing for the doors and windows, jumping out in all directions. Electric light globes, suspended from cords attached to the ceiling, were swinging and smashing together; cars on the side tracks on the outside were running up the line for a distance of ten or fifteen feet, aud on the return of an approaching wave from the other direction, would return. Natives were on their knees on the ground, praying to beat the devil; smoke stacks swaYing; people standing up, seemingly in a drunken condition, unable to balance themselves; bells in cathedral towers sll over the city were swinging to and fro, ringing; buildings cracking; small crevises showing at different places in the ground; water mains bursting, and God knows what all. I have expe- rienced earthquakes Tn different parts of the country, but none a marker to this. The Lord surely had a hard time to take notes of the prayers of these people during these agues inside of the earth"

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- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in1amed condition of the mu- cous lining of the Eustachian tube. When this tube gets inAamed, you have a 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 eases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dol lars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir eulars, free.
