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 inhamed 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-
dition, 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
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

The Platform Adopted.
We the representatives of the demo-
cratic party of the United States assem-
b1ed in national convention upon the an
niversary of the adoption of the decIa-
ration OF independence, do reaff1rm our
faith in that immortal proclamation of
the inalienable rights of man, and our
allegiance to the constitution framed in
harmony Herewith by the fathers of the
republic.
We hold with the United States SUI
preme court that the declaration of indie
pendence is the spirit of our government,
of which the constitution is the form and
letter. We declare again that all govern
mentS instituted among men derive their
just powers from the consent of the gov
erned; that any government not based
upon the consent of the governed is a
tyranny; and that to impose upon any
people a government of force is to sub
stitute the methods of Imperialism for
those of a republic.
We hold that the constitution follows
the flag and denounce the doctrine that
an executive or congress deriving their
existence and their powers from the con-
StitutiOn can exercise lawful authority
beyond it, in violation of it.
We assert that no nation can long en-
dure half republic and half empire, and
we warn the American people that i'm
perialism abroad will lead quickly and
inevitably to despotism at home.
