Deafness CANNOT be 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 infiamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling 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 nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces. We
will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that
can not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

words, that they adopted this rallying
cry: by tacit agreement only, and not by
formal proclamation. Nevertheless,
there was formed another combination
just as real as the first and more nearly
impregnable, inasmuch as It could not
be assailed In the courts. The processes
have been going on silently, persistent
ly, making toward a consolidation Of
railway interests which, in fact, is prac-
tically formed. The understanding be-
tween the great railway kings Is com
plete, and now there only remain to be
arranged the details by which the rail-
roads glrdllng the United States win be
controlled by q comparatively small
number of men, The kings of the rails
have not told us how they arrived at an
understanding, but the handwriting is
apparent TO one who will study the
combinations and cast a comprehensive
glance over a map of the United States.
The railways of the United States ag-
gregate a grand total of 10000 miles
or 10000 miles more than those of all
Europe, including Great Britain. OF
this total at least 10000 miles are now
owned or controlled by less than a doz-
en- men, those particularly prominent in
their management being I, Pierpont
Morgan, w, X. Vanderbilt, George J.
Gould, Alexander j. Cassatt, James J.
