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
hy constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
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,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We viii give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Of Deafness (caused by catarrh that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

American millionaire, who now resides in

asked:
Isn't that handsome, your grace?"
Yes, it certainly is, replied the duchess
Isn't 1t more so than any other staircase
you ever saw" Mr.. Astor is reported to
have persisted.
At this the duchess back very naturally
got up.
Yes, she said, gently, Il admire ii very
much. 1t is much finer than our old stair.

these 200 or 300 years by the spurs of those
stupid old Knights
Battle abbey is probably the grandest old
place N England and compared with Give

battleship to torpedo boat.
another story with a similar point is re-
lated IN the same sketch. Mr.. Aston, it is
averred, was lost in admiration of the duke
