BY the death of G. Homer Leblanc,
followed in quick succession by that
of his wife. Homer was about %
years old, a son of our worthy friend
2. Ubal Leblanc of the first ward, was
engaged in business at Erath and was
in every way a model and estimable
young man. He died On Dec. 9th
after a short illness with pneumonia,
his wife, Lucia, a daughter of Minos
G. Broussard, and a sister of Deputy
clerk of court Zach b. Broussard,
died A days later, or Dec. 3lst leav-
ing 3 children the oldest barely 8
years, old. Their misfortunes are
inexpressibly sad and excite deep
sympathy.

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 inf1amed
condition Of the mucous lining of the
Eustaehian Tube. When this tube getr
mfamed you have a rumhiDg sound os
imperfect hearing. and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can he taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, Which is nothing but
an indamed condition of mucous sur
faces.

rrb) that cannot be cured by Halls
