WHAT CAUSES DEAFNESS.
The Principal Cause IL Durable, hut
Generally Overlooked.

Many things may cause deafness, and
very often Ii ia difficult to trace q cause.
Some people inherit deafness. Acute
cause deafness. But by far the most COM
mon cause of loss of hearing is catarrh
OF the head and throat.
prominent specialist on ear troubles
gives as his opinion that nine out of ten
cases of deafness are traced TO throat
trouble; this IS probably overstated, but
II is certainly true that more than half Of
all cases OF poor hearing were caused by
catarrh.
The catarrhal secretion IN the nose and
throat finds its way into the Eustachian
tube. and By cioggng IT UP very soon af-
fects the hearing, and the hardening Of
the secretion makes the loss OF hearing
permanent, unless the catarrh which
caused the trouble is cured.
Those who are hard of hearing may
think this a little far-fetched, but any one
at all obseryant must have noticed how a
hard cold In the head will AFFECT the hear
Will certainly impair the sense of hearing
and ultimately cause deafness
IL the nose and throat are kept clear
and free from the unhealthy secretions of
catarrh, the hearing will at once greatly
improve. and anyone suffering from deaf
ness and catarrh can satisfy themselves
on this point by using a fifty-cent box Of
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a new catarrh
cure, which In the past year has won the
approval OF thousands OF catarrh suf-
ferers, as well as physicians, because II
is In convenient form to use. contains no
cocaine or opiate, and is as safe and
pleasant for children as for their elders
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are a wholesome
combination of Blood root, Guaiacol, Eu-
caluptal and similar antiseptics, and they
cure catarrh and catarrhal deafness by
action upon the blood and mucous men,
brane Of the nose and throat
AS one physician aptly expresses Ii:
You do not have to draw upon the imag-
nation to discover whether you are get

int r1lrn and lfaf SAINT
from the first tablet taken
All druggists sell and recommend them.
They cost but fifty cents for full sized
package. and any catarrh sufferer who
has wasted time and money on sprays,
salves and powders will appreciate to the
full the merit OF Stuarts Catarrh Tab

PROF. HILPREOHT BRINGS
PRECIOUS TABLETS.
Discoveries in Ancient Nlppur of
Tremendous Importance to stu
6enfa Of CfvfIfxafto0


dents of Civilization.
NEW YORK, Nov PROT H. " Hill
precht. of the University OF Pennsyi-
vania, who has been exploring the noun
tains Of ancient Nippur. In Asia Minor,
arrived in this port on the steamer Fried
rich der Crosse from Bremen. Prof, Hill
precht brought with him some OF the
tablets marked with cuneiform inscrip-
tons, which he recently discovered in an
old temple on the ruins of Nippur. These
tablets contain records of civilization
which existed as long ago as 5000 Il. c.
that is. as long before Abraham as Ahra-
ham was before our time.
Prof. Hilprecht's coming has been
awaited anxiously by students interested
in the remote past. because his discov-
cries are believed TO have reorganized the
II back many millenniums prior to the old
time reckoning of the deluge. Therefore
he is looked upon as a messenger bear
ing news Of the earliest records Of civil
ization.
His progress from Nippur has been one
long series of personal triumphs. He was

tertained by Prince Ruprecht, of Bava-
ria. by the Duchess OF Onhalt. sister OF
Der of several geographical societies.
DR.. Hilprecht has been exploring the
mounds of ancient Nippur for eleven
years year HIS campaigns have heretofore
year he has made the greatest discoveries
Of all. the finding of the library of the
ancient temple of Nippur and the remains
of huge palace having at least two
stories and containing many evidences of
what might be called modern convent
ences.
The library tablets throw a strong light
on how people lived at Nippur at the time
when Adam and Eve were supposed to be
living in the garden of Eden Some of
the tablets are dictionaries, architectural
plans. building lists. grammatical exer-
cises, contracts, bills of sale, histories
and chronological lists, and not only do
they form complete record of the time.
but they indicate that the civilization
then existing was many thousands of
years old. They supply many gaps which
are known to exist in Genesis: they turn
light on the origin of the Jews and the
Jewish religion, and they are wonderful
ly corroborative of the facts outlined in
the Old Testament.
THE chief point to he remarked" said
the professor this morning lis that we
have found the first Babylonian temple
library that was ever discovered. Hither-
to we have possessed nothing more than
knowledge of the probable contents of
such library. from copies found in the
royal library Of Ashurbanapol. in Nine
veh. which was discovered sixty years
ago."
