SOMETHING OF A TRAVELLER.
A Busy City Man Who Still Finds
Little Time to Cover Few
Thousand Miles.

IT Travelled 5000 miles last year." said the
mild clerk of the ribbon counter, ''and
had no idea We had SO extensive country"
He looked around with conscious pride
and a swelling bosom. A veteran in the
shoe department took him UP, says the New
York Sun.
Five thousand miles," said he, with
scorn. ''Only 5000 miles? Why, bless your
innocent young heart, l Travelled is, 72O miles
last year, and will do it again this year, and
all L know about the extent of our great
and glorious country is cleaned from the
map. How did | do il! Easy enough.

to. say have Travelled 800 miles week,
which, multiplied by So, makes 46S 900 miles.
Nearly 20 times around TIE world, that is,
and almost from here to the moon and back.
Oh, my, boy, you don't know what travelling

tional."
And the ribbon clerk shrunk into himself
and wished he hadn't mentioned his jour

Deafness Cannot he 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 infamed YOU have rumbline
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 inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any

tarrh and diarrhoea. had always supposed
these affections to be different diseases, but
l have learned from DR.. Hartman's books
that these affections are the same and are
properly called catarrh.
AS for DR.. Hartman's remedy, Peruna,
l have found it to be the best, if not the
only reliable remedy for these affections.
