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 constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have 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
dtion, 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 will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh that

THE TELEPHONE CONTROVERSY.
H. F. Woodland Replies to "Stock
holder"

H. F. Woodland Replies to "StOck-
holder"
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
With pleasure answer the questions pro-
pounded by "stockholder'' of the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Company
which were published in your issue of the
18th instant.
l. The firm of Blrney &, Woodland are of
counsel for the Telephone Subscribers As
ISOLATION, and are Tor expect to be) paid as
such.
q 1 did not answer the article which ap
peared in the Financial Review as the rep
resentative Of the Telephone Subscribers
Association, nor assume to represent any
persons other than myself, but If the
''stockholder'' has any doubt as to the
number of persons interested in lower tele-
phone rates / refer him to the 500 mem
bers Of the Telephone Subscribers Aeeocia-
ton, and to the subscription list of the
Washington Telephone Company, which
numbers above two thousand. If the bust
ness people are satisfied. why have they
signed contracts with a company that Is
now seeking a charter?
8. 1t is not true that "I' and coterie Of
friends are endeavortng to organize tele-
phone company. I advocated the granting
of a charter to the Washington Telephone
tict committees but was not then, and am
not now. personally interested as stock
holder, or otherwise, save to secure to the
people OF Washington telephone service at
lower rates. So far as I understand the
Intentions OF the Washington Telephone
Company, It is not their purpose to take
advantage Of the people of Washington, but
to install and maintain a hagh-class tele.
phone service at rates less than one-half of
what my firm (Birney & Woodard) are now
paying. The new service would be $50 per
annum. as against $125 per annum. the
matter is that the new company will not
be permitted to follow the example Of the
old. and issue stocks and bonds many times
in excess Of the cost of its plant.
The present company and It's stockholders
are doing the best they can for themselves.
in New York tried to do the same. but why
should the people Of Washington pay twice
as much for q commodity than 1t ought
and can be reasonably furnished for? The
fact that the stockholders receive only 4
per cent Is a matter of Indifference. Old
methods and prices must yield to the adj
vancins spirit of the age.
In conclusion, / beg to say that in an
swering the article published in the Finan-
cial Review 1t was not my intention to
write unkindly Of the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Telephone Company, nor did I, but
simply to correct a statement published in
that sheet. No one will be more gratified
than myself to see the present company re-
duce Its rates. but in tho meantime would
1t be the correct thing to initiate the value
of the stock Of the company by imparttng
the suggestion that the business people Of
part, decline to believe that so high
minded gentlemen as edit the Review had
any such thought in View.
