Deafness Cannot he Cured

by local applications rs 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 con
diiion of the mucous lining of the
Eustachan Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when il is en-.
.irely closed, Deafness is the result. and
unless the inflammation can bc taken
out and this tube restored 10 its normal
condition, hearing will be- destroyed
forever; nine eases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh. which is nothing but AN

The report recently completed by
State Oyster Inspector Harvey Jones at
St Michael's. Talbot county. shows
that. beginning September |, 1898, and
ending January |, 1899, period of only
four months, there have been caught by
tongers no less than 81 .l60 bushels of
oysters. and the average price paid for
them was 20 cents per bushel, or about
twice as much as they averaged during
the same period last year. This would
make a total of $40. $50 paid to the tong
ers alone. The five shocking houses
there. IT is estimated, have shipped a.
l2S gallons. the price per gallon averag-
ing so cents, or total of SOL .302. 10 for
the packers and Il grand total of about
SlO0,0000 90 which have been received
and put into circulation in that COM
munity during the last four months of
last year. The latter figures are nearly
double last years for the same length of
time.
The Cambridge Ne,rs has this To say
about our farms and tenants Not
only are northern and western farmers
buying up our lands, thus making ii
more difficult for the tenant farmers To
secure good farms; farm labor from
those sections is also being imported in
the counties east of the bay. Owners
of some large farms in Somerset and
Worcester express themselves as highly
pleased with Pennsylvania labor which
they say is far more reliable than the
average colored workers. These things
show rs that the spirit of progress is
abroad and that the survival of the
fittest is a law of nature that we cannot
escape. If the tenants will not improve
their opportunities. the farm owners
will sell the lands. II the laborers will
not labor. others will take their places. |
Care. however, should be exercised in
employing these strangers. for all of
them are not to be trusted"
