Deafness Cannot be Cured

by ltcal 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 rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets infamed you have a rumb-
ling sound of imperfect hearing. and
when IT is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma.
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh
which Is nothing but an innamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

The highest form of life appears

It's action then, extends not only to-
the sensible but to the entire domain
of truth. This is the reasonable
soul, which possesses the faculties
of thinking and fyee-wilI. This
soul constitutes the personality and
identity of man; it makes us to be
the same yesterday, to-day and for
ever; it grasps what the senses can
not reach; it can think of God, it,
can have thoughts Of Justice and
truth, of the connection between
premises and conclusions, Of the
difference between good and evil.

tic Philosophy.
Before entering more into detail
about the constituent elements of
man, we ask, what is life? What
do we call alive? Generally speak
ing it is to move ones self, to be
animated; life is the existence of a
beng which develops an activity
from within itself. In more linn
tied sense life is the sum of the
activities of so-called organic bodies
What moves we call alive. There
/ fore to live means to move, that is
to move ones self from within so
that the thing moving and the thing
moved are one and tie same thing,
in contradistlnction to the motion
which does not proceed from within,
but is caused by an impulse from
without The animal, for instance
approaches his prey through the
power dwelling within itself; while
the motion of the ball through the
! air does not proceed from within
itself, but from the hand that
threw it.
Our readers will understand that
this essay is the product of lectures,
delivered by most eminent men in
