We have not yet seen as many evil
dences of a campaign fund in the hands
of Mr.. Hanna as appeared about this

engines of the Republican factories are
not to be made to buzz again in our

election without any subsidising of
the press, and other Hannaising meth

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 inliamed con-
ditiOn of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and un
less the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con-
ditiOn, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in.
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
