L eafne.s Cannot be Cured.

by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infiamed condition of the mucous lin- ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed you have a rumb. ling 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 restor ed to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed con dition of the mucous surfaces.

the prosperity that has come to the
country and specially to the cattlemen
of Texas. They do not care to see the
present confidence among the people
disturbed by the election of any other
man as president. This expression is
not confined alone to republicans, but
is the desire of democrats as well.
Another reason why these Texas cattle
men will stand by the president is the
fact that he kept hands off the Trans
vaal trouble when President Kruger be
lieved that the United States would
rally to his support. The cattlemen
say that the country was never more
