Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing OF the Eustachan Tube. When
this tube gets inhammed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in.
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to Its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused ca
tarrh, which is nothing by an infam-
ed condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness, caused by
catarrh, that cannot be cured by

Il QUEER law.

The anti-cartoon law which the Cali
fornia Legislature has constructed is one
Of the curiosities Of legislation. 1t not
only aims at prohibiting the abuse of
cartoons but seeks to prevent the pub
LEGATION Of portraits and caricatures of
persons without their consent. The gist
of the law is contained In the section
which says that 1t shall be unlawful to
publish in any newspaper, handful, pos
ter, book or serial publication or sup
p1ement thereto, the portrait Of any liv-
ing person a resident of California, 9TH
err than that Of a person holding a pub
lie office in the State, without first OBJ
tanning the consent of such person. The
only exception to this prohibition is
that it shall be lawful to pub
lish portraits of persons convict
ed of crimes The section goes
on to provide that it shall be I'M
lawful to publish any caricature of any
person residing in California which will
in any manner reflect upon the honor.
integrity, manhood, virtue, reputation
or business or political motives of the
person so caricatured or which tends to
expose such person to public hatred or
contempt.
Are residents" of California as SEN
sitive as this law indicates that they
are? And haven't they any regard for
the feelings of people who don't happen
to be lucky enough to live in Califor-

Governor Lounsbury has at last
named the Insurance Commissioner, and
it is not Mr.. Belts. We think this mat
ter has been generally regarded as
test of the governor, and we think the
general feeling will be that he has not
come out Of the test very well. 1t is
said by some of the governors near
friends that he has no fault to find with
Mr. Belts administration of his office,
and that he does not believe that the
charges made against him have any
solid foundation. But he has not reap
pointed him. The whole matter will
grow in interest and importance as time
goes on, and when Mr. Belts is fully
indicated, as all who know him well
confidently expect he will be, he will
have more friends than he ever knew
he had and more than are in sight just
now. ...
