Physician on Otis Staff Takes Gloomy
View of the Outlook.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 22.-Dr. Charles
A. McQuesten, who was on the staff Of
General E. S. Otis, and who was health
officer at Manila, has returned home,
invalided by the climate.
Captain McQuesten made a close
study of the conditions of the Philip
pine situation. He is of the opinion
that it will take from 100000 to 100, 900
soldiers to properly subdue and hold the
islands. He also says that the peace
commission was an absolute failure. He
added: "Unless troops, thousands Of
! them, are sent to the aid Of our men
there, they will be driven back into
Manila in the course of the next few
months during the rainy season. Our
men simply cannot stand the climate.
Fifty per cent of them will be incapaci-
tated by sickness and the territory over
run will have to be abandoned. Manila
will be in a state of siege again. Our
officers and soldiers have accomplished
wonders and have proved themselves
the best soldiers in the world. But
nothing decisive has come of 1t, be-
cause our men We're not i'll great enough

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 remdies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflam-
ed 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
condition hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh.
