WHAT CAUSES DEAFNESS ?
The Principal Cause IS Cnrablc, But
Generally Overlooked.

Many things may cause deafness, and
very often is difficult TO trace cause,
Scine people inherit deafness. Acute dis
eases like scarlet fever sometimes cause
Deafness But by far the most common
cause Of loss OF hearing is cata-rh of the
head and throat
a prominent specialist on ear troubles
gives as his opinion that nine out OF ten
cases o. deafness IS traced re threat
trouble: this is probably oyorstate6. c:tt
II is certainly true that more than half
ot al eases OF poor hearing wee caused
by cataTrt.
The catarrhal secretion in Inc nose ana
threat finds It's way INTO the Eustachian
tube AMI by clogs!ng it up Very soon affects
the hearing ana the hardening OF the Sc
erection makes the loss Of hearing perma-
nent. un,ess the catarrh which caused
the trouble IS cured.
Those who are hard OF hearing may
think this lite far-fetched, but any one
at all observant must have noticed how a
hard cold in the head viii affect the hear
ing and the catarrh, if long neglected.
viii certainly impair the sense of hearing
and ultimately cause deafness.
If the nose and throat are kept clear
and free from the unhealthy secretions
of catarrh. the hearing viii at once great
w improve and any one suffering from
deafness and catarrh can satisfy them
selves on this point by using a fifty cent
box of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets. new
.catarrh cure. which in the past year has
won the approval of thousands of catarrh
Z sufferers as well as physicians, because It
is in convenient form to use, contains no
cocaine or opates and is safe and pleas
ant for children as for their elders.
Stuart.s Gatsrrh Tablets is a wholesome
combination Of Blood Root, -Guaiacoi. .Eu-
caiyptoi and similar an,.septics. and they
cure catarrh and catarrhal deafness by
action upon the blood and nlucuous mem
brane of the nose and throat.
AS one physician APPLY expresses It.:
nYou do not have to draw upon the mag
s,natiou to discover whether you are set.

Stand upon the summit of

blooming of a columbine. Study
the endless variety of faces, aud
phases of nature, from the first
tint of green in spring, to the
countless shades of color at aut-
umn, and you may write volumes
from inspiration.
As the bending sky surpasses

recognize amid its infinite divers

glorious than that which binds the

There will occur that which the
inspired prophets of every relig-
