DEAFNESS 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
lnfamed condition of the mucous lin
Ing OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets lnflamed you have a
rumbliDg sound or imperfect hearing,
ana when it is entirely closed Deafness
Is the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out OF ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

WHEAT CROP INJCRED.

Charlotte Observer: Not within the
history of the e5unty, perhaps, were
the farmers so tar behind In harvesting
their wheat as they are this year. Along
every roadside fields of oyer-ripe wheat
are to be seen standing ready Tor the
reaper. Some of it has been SO badly
beaten down by wind and rain as to be
ready for the mower rather than the
reaper. Much of the wheat will have
to be moved. The cause OF this con.
ditlon OF affairs in the wheat fields is
the long continued wet weather, which
made the operation of reapers impract-
icable. However, the sunshine OF the
past two days has altered the situation
somewhat, and good deal Of wheat
was cut yesterday and the day be-
fore.
The harvesting ON Mr. Fred divers
celebrated wheat farm to the south OF
the city began yesterday, and number
OF people went out to Sea the reapers
at work. Mr.. Oliver has 400 acres in
wheat. Good judges say that his yield
will be in the neighborhood Of $4,000
bushels probably more. His fields Ger
tainly present magnlhent appear
