Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the. ear.
There is only one way 10 cure Deafness.
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness IS caused by an inflamed con-
dition OF the mucous lining OF the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearng, and when II is entirely
closed Deafness Is the result. and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condl-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out. of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which Is nothing but an inftamed
condition OF the mucous surfaces.

How u Soldier Feels In Battle.

The worst time the soldier passes
through, says a veteran, Is not when
he Is under fire-no matter how thick
the bullets fiy-but about half an hour
before the battle begins. Whether a
man is a novice or an old campaigner,
he Is pretty sure to feel solemn then.
His thoughts turn toward his home
and friends; he %speculates on the pos
sibility that he may be spending his
last hours on earth. In fact. nothing
makes SO great an impression on the
soldiers mind as the time he spends
lust before the battle. 1t sobers the
most daring and reckless men. But
the mood o 70 passes. Within Ave or
ten minutes after the firing has COM
menced all the depression has disap-
peared and Is succeeded by a feeling OF
keen excitement. amounting In some
cases to a regular frenzy. The soldier
sees his comrades falling around him.
but the only impression, as a rule. is
one OF regret. with possibly an idea
that their death must be avenged.
