Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There IL only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that IL by constitutional
remedies. Deafness IL caused by an
inilamed condition Of the mucous I'm
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inilamed you have arum-
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it IL entirely closed Deafness IL
the result. and unless the intlamma-
,iun can be taken out and this tube
restored To It's normalcondition hear
ing will be- destroyed forever; nine
cnses out of ten are caused by Gu
tHrrh. which in nothing but an in
famed condition OF the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

catarrh) that cannot he cured by

St Paul, March 24.-The railroads of
Minnesota have agreed with the rail
road commissioners TO submit a new
schedule Of grain rates which will be
more acceptable, and which will grant
the concessions demanded by the COM
missiOners. Conferences have been
held during the past few days with this
view, and the commission has agreed
to postpone action until the new
schedules can be received and revised.
The investigation of rates promised to
open up the whole rate situation in
Minnesota, and would certainly have
been followed by long legal battle.
