Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the car.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused byran in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets inflamed you have 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 its normal condition hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by catarrh, which il
nothing but an inllamed condition ol

Southampton, .,luy 6.-The new cup
challenger started on her first trial
spin Saturday morning under excel
lent conditions. The sun shone
bright and warm and steady north
easterly breeze was blowing.
An immense amount of preparatory
work has been satisfactorily carried
out during the past week and every
thing essential was ready when the
Shamrock III. left her berth. Sir
Thomas Upton and Charles Russell
arrived Friday evening and saw the
last touches put to the preparation.
v. G. Jameson and Designer Watson
followed Saturday morning.
Keen interest is shown in the trial
and a large number of yachts and
steamers, crowded with passengers,
accompanied the Erin and the Sham
rock IL.
While the challenger was prepar-
ing for her first sail the American
line steamer ST. Louis passed her.
There were a number of Americans
on board who closely scanned the
challender. On passing the yacht
| the steamship slowed down and
saluted The crews of the Erin
and the two Shamroclls, who We're
ranged on their respective decks,
cheered the st. Louis heartily. Dur
ing the forenoon the breeze steadied
and hardened until fine, crisp north
easter was blowing, sufficient to raise
the white caps. The jib and stay sail
of the challenger were hoisted at an
| early hour and when the word was
| given to raise the mainsail, the speed
| with which it was hoisted from the
deck, in American fashion, demon
strated the hardness of the appli-
ances adopted. The sail is made OF
dark, Sea Island cotton and fully
L
the largest on record. The challenger
hoisted her mainsail at 11:4O M
and shortly afterwards slipped hel
moorings, and lying over till her lee
rail was almost awash went reaching
down Southampton water at pace
that made the Erin drive along at full
speed to keep her in view.
