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 remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition OF the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube When this tube gets infam-
ed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, aud 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 wiz be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case
of Deafness fcaused by catarrh) that cannot be
cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars,

AS Patrick Henry's great speech had
been lost in the shuttle. he turned to
"Bingen ON the Rhine" He had spO-
ken that as boy at school exhibitions,
and with one eye on the cat and one
ear listening for what might happen
up stairs he began:
"a soldier CT the legion lay dying in Agiers;
There a lack of woman's nursing,
There was dearth-
"There was Observation-Disclosures

He might have got it that there was
dearth of woman's tears but FOR the
cat His voice had grated on her
nerves till every hair stood on end.
She had come TO conclude that the in.
strument was a cat eXterminatOr or
feline diScourager and that her life
was in danger Therefore as Mrs.
BowSer and the cook came down stairs
to make mutual and fearful appeal,
she sprang for Mr.. BOwser. The at
tack was so sudden that he went down
under it and pulled the photograph
after him. and for minute there was
a mix up to beat the band. Then he
rose to his feet and looked for the cat.
She had disappeared. He lifted up the
photograph and banged it and slam
med it until only splinters remained.
Then he turned to Mrs. BOwser and
the cook and said:
Ladies. the exhibition is over. One
of you can notify your lawyer to see
me tomorrow about a divorce, and the
other can take her bundle and her
wages for Il days. 4 hours and 10 min

observe that she had been expecting
him to develop a new fad for u week

die, fire escape. a recipe for root beer

was said until after dinner. Then the
