Deafness Can not Be Cured

by local application, as they cannot
reach the deceased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con.
dition of the mucous lining of the
Egstachian Tube. When this tube gets
infiamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
bat an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness, caused by catarrh,

which he said he was going to mur-

man husking corn. He showed no dis

was no evidence Of insanity. He
claims that his wife has insisted on his
supporting q number of her relatives
and that he objected. He appears to

SALT WATER BLOOD.
An Operation That Ia the Saving O.
Many Human Lives.

An Operation That Ia the Saving OF
Many Human Lives.
TRANSMISSION Of blood is procedure
that must have been employed by ply
sicians In very early times. Ovid tells
of Medea bringing back youth to the
aged by the injection into their veins
Of the blood of young men, and doubt
less the same means was employed by
physicians for less fantastic objects.
The injection of the blood of one per-
son into the veins of another was until
recently done to save life after severe
hemorrhage and in various forms of
blood poisoning. Sometimes a direct
communication was made between the
veins of the donor and of the recipient
by means of tube. At other times the
healthy subject was bled into bowl
and the blood was beaten to remove
the fibrin before it was passed into the
blood vessels of the patient.
The procedure is a dangerous one,
however, although many lives have
been saved by it, and it has now been
almost entirely abandoned, a much
safer plan being used.
1t is found that the blood when de-
fibrinated is no longer n living fluid,
and the corpuscles it contains serve no
useful purpose when injected, but rath-
er act as foreign matter which must be
got rid Of. Accordingly physicians now
use distilled water in which a definite
proportion Of common salt and other
chlorides have been dissolved. This So
luton is warmed and is injected slow
ly into vein Mt the bend Of the elbow,
about quart being used.
Often 1t is not even necessary to pour
the fluid into vein, but simply to in
ject it through one or more hollow
needles into the tissues beneath the
skin Of the abdomen or the thigh.
This is done not only to supply an
equivalent for fluid lost in hemorrhage
or cholera, but also in certain diseases
In which blood poisoning exists. In
this latter case large amount of fluid
is injected slowly, and being taken up
by the blood is almost Immediately
excreted through the kidneys, carrying
with it much of the poison which the
blood was unable to rid itself of un.
aided.
This operation has been felictously
called "blood Washing" for this is
what 1t really is, and TO the process hui
manity owes the saving of many lives

should be q rafting contest, as both
are clever and hard hitters.

between Freddie Colly and Wally

Denny Phelps and Whitley Smith, max
ing "a rounds of boxing all told. The
orchestra recently organized and equip
by the S. e. A. G. will render Sc

land has been engaged as referee. The

His Theory.

A novel explanation of the cause Of
thunder showers was once given So
journer In little Nova Scotia town by
one of the inhabitants.
"Do you know what makes thun-
der?" the Nova Scotian inquired Of his
guest. "I've got a theory Of my own,
and call 1t pretty good one."
II should like to hear it," was the
diplomatic reply.
"Well," said the host slowly, "my
idea is this: You know we hear about
the air circulating and circulating all
the time. My notion is that the pure
air from above comes down here in
summer and gets foul with all the
smoke and dirt and grease, and then
the heat drives 1t up again into the
clouds, and when 1t gets up there it's
pressed ON all round by the clouds COM

my theory. OF course" he added, with
