Deafness Cannot be Cured

bv local applications. as they cannot

There is only one way to cure Deaf

tube gets inAamed you have a 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 restored
tc its normal condition, hearing will be
DESTROYED forever; nine cases out OF ten

but an inAamed condition Of the MI

G. M. Schwab, President of the "l}ll-
lion dollar Trust" otherwise known as
the Ucited States Steel Company, re-
Gently organized by ]. Plerpont Morgan
drew one of the largest audiences that
have yet attended hearing before the
Industrial Commission, just as he is said
to draw the largest salary ever paid to
any man. From Mr.. Schwab' point of
view, his trust is one of the best things
that ever happened. 1t will not reduce
wages, and it will not increase prices,
although he did acknowledge that It
would greatly reduce the number Of en-
ployes. He took occasion to whack the
labor organizations, but. of course, that
was expected from the man who drove
those organizations out of the Carnegie
works.

The least in quantity and most in quality
describes DeWitt's Little Early Risers, the
famous pills for constipation and liver COM
plants.
Railroad men believe. and cannot be
shaken in their belief, that deaf persons
have a prediction for walking on rail
road tracks. Whether this is because
the jar and grind of train make a deaf
man think he can hear or whether the
average human creature naturally tends
to do those things he ought not to do
are questions they do not discuss, but
they Insist on their belief.
DcWitts Little Early Risers search the
remotest parts of the bowels and remove the
impurities speedily with no discomfort. They
are famous for their efficacy. Easy to take,
