WHAT CAUSES DEAFNESS.
The Principal Cause Is Durable But Gen.
orally Overlooked.

Inc Principal Cause Is Gurablc But GEN
orally Overlooked.
Many things may cause deafness,
and very often 1t is difficult to trace
a cause. Some people inherit deaf
ness. Acute diseases like scarlet fever
sometimes cause deafness. But by
far the most common cause of loss of
hearing is catsrrh of the head and
throat.
A prominent specialist on ear trou-
bles gives as his opinion that nine
out Of ten cases Of deafness is traced
to throat trouble: this is probably
overstated but 1t 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 itc way into the
Eustachian tube aud by cIoeging 1t
up very soon affects the bearing and
the hardening Of the secretion makes
the loss Of bearing permanent unless
the catsrrh which caused the trouble
is cured.
Those who are hard Of hearing may
think this little far fetched, but any
one at all observant must have noticed
how a hard cold in the head will af-
feet the hearing and that catarrh II
long neglected will centainly impair
the sense Of hearing and ultimately
cause deafness.
II 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 deafness and catarrh can satisfy
themselves on this point By using n
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 sufferers as well
as physicians, because it is in conven-
lent form to use, contain no cocaine
or opiate and Is as safe and pleasant
for children as for their elders.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets is a whole
some combination of Blood root, Qua.
iacol, Bucalyptol and similar anti
septics and they cure catarrh and ca
tarrhal deafness by action upon the
blood and mucous membrane of the
nose and throat.
AS one physician aptly expresses It:
you do not have 20 draw upon the
imagination to discover whether you
are getting benefit from Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets; improvement and relief
are apparent 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 Tablets.

Diphtheria quarantine cards have
been posted on a number of the resi-,

part of parents and teachers who fear
that the disease will become epidemic.
A number of parents have refused
to send their children to school until
the disease is stamped out. AS an
nounced several days ago it is believed
that all the cases can be traced to ono
family. A child, suffering from the
complaint attended school after being
attacked with the trouble.

The Democrat received the follow
ing letter this morning from the NIGGA.
dore Republican,:
Mogadore o., Nov. l, 1900.
Old Man Cincinatus, forget his first
name, said he'd rather stay on his farm
an raise cabbages to keep down the
mortgage than to cavort around in
politics with brass band and be the
Mark Hanna of the Roman Empire.
That's just me too, which shows that
history repeats itself. I'd rather husk
corn, even If the frost is on the pump
kin, than to be the Mark Hanna of
Mogadore, and write letters settin'
forth "plain dooty," national honor and
tin dinner pals full of cold victuals. BY
the way, the full dinner pail argument
is a Jonah out here because nearly ey-
cry body prefers warm meals cold
lunch. Frank Myers is about the only
man who uses the dinner pail argu-
ment, and he does it because it is easy
for him to understand. He owns a big
pot shop an never carried his dinner
or anything else, but gold watch, in
his life until this fall. 1 heard the 9th
er day that he makes his folks pack
just to keep in line with the admins
tration. He is still lookin' for his Sec
ond term in the Legislature and he'll
get 1t about the time 1 get my job as
county treasurer. He was down at
the store the other day with his dinner
pail full of cold victuals or sunthing,
and was telling the boys that If Bryan
was elected every dinner pail in the
country would be empty before six
month. When he said that a big course
Democrat by the name of McClosky
said: You're right, old man. When
Bryan is President Wen pass the eight
hour law which Mark Hanna defeated
and then the boys will have time to go
home at noon and get hot meal" The
boys all laughed and Myers got so mad
he dropped the pail an busted over
two dozen eggs an some of them were
worse than the ones our fellows pelted
Bryan with when he was running the
first time.
McClosky's vulgar crack about warm
meals lost us four of our first voters
These young cubs are always so hun

Mogadore) and this is final. declare
that the Republican party will regu-
late them by compelling them to con.
tribute to the campaign fund, 1 de-
clare that trusts are a good thing. For
instance, the whisky trust closed down
Sigmund Wachner's distillery here in
Mogadore, and as a result we have all
been compelled to buy canteens, like
they do in Manila. The manufacture
of these canteens gave lots of employ
ment to laboring men. Again. After
the. Sewer Pipe trust was formed,
some men came here and built big
shop to make pipe and fight the trust.
The building of the shop gave work to
many Of our people who for several
years have lived on faith and the gen
eral prosperity of the country while
they waited for chance to get work.
BY the time the shop is finished the
trust will buy it, and our people will
have lots of work tearing the shop
down. There will besa lot of cheap
second hand brick for sale then and
this will bring ON brick building
boom out here for several days. Things
never looked so bright for our town
for years. Some democrats out here
are mean enough to say that all of our
prosperity is not due to the trusts but
that it is due to a restoration of conf
dence brought about by the election of
a democrat to the office Of mayor. Jane
