De.rness Cannot He Cured

by local appTcatIons. 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 infamed condition of the mus cfpas lining of the Eustaehi9n Tube. " hen hen 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 is normal con dtion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces

swered Tom. ITS really the most
amusing case ] have ever heard of.
You know when l went away last sum
mer, Fred, the doctors brother, was
with me. From the very start he made
a hit with the fair sex.
Zone of the young women staying at
a nearby hotel had the misfortune
(or, to be more accurate, the good for
tune, for so it proved eventually, to
sprain her wrist, and word was sent
over to our hotel asking if we had
among our guests a physician. On the
spur of the moment said my friend
was one, for knew he understood "A
little about medicine.
$50 we went together, and l intro
duced Fred as DR.. Jordan, of Boston.
The young woman was very glad to
see him, and Fred examined her wrist,
finally declaring II was not very seri-
Gus. He called for water and linen,
and bathed her wrist for some time,
much longer, in fact, than thought
necessary under the circumstances.
Finally he bandaged the wrist, smil-
ingly assuring her it would he matter
of but a few days when it would be
as well as ever.
1.-THE young woman was profuse in
her thanks, and that he might send her
bill she gave him one of her cards.
1t read Miss Marion Fiske. When we
returned to our hotel the other guests
hearing me call Fred doc" took it for
granted he was a physician. One OF
the young women, in fact, recalled how
she had met him at a reception, and
asked him if he did not remember the
occasion.
"As he and his brother being twins
are nearly as much alike as two peas
Pike County press. (Milford, Pa.) 1895-1925, 1901-08-16

and confuse their friends as to their
identity at times, it was not strange
that nominal acquaintance should
get them mixed.
THE injured wrist, however, afford
ed Fred an excuse to make visits to
the other hotel, and under his care
full treatment It grew better wonder
fully fast. This treatment included
long walks, rowing, swinging for
hours in a hammock, etc. 1t was de-
lightful for both, apparently, but final
ly Fred had to go back to town.
"Just before the train pulled him
out he fished in his pockets for card,
and having decided not to make con-
fession disclosing his true identity un-
til Miss Fiske came to town, he handed
her one of his brothers cards, on
which was his address.
"Once he got back to town he had
so much to do in order to make up
for his absence that he forgot all
about his Irritation for the time be-
ing. Then he decided one day to drop
Miss Fiske a few lines for old times
sake, and when it was finished he sim
ply signed it Sincerely, Doe
Miss Fiske speedily answered it,.
So the next day DR.. Jordan found
among his mail a dainty scented en-
velope. When he opened and read the
letter he could not recall who Marion
was, nor any person in jefferson whom
he knew, and he tossed it on his desk.
''When Marion did not receive any
answer to her missive that week she
became a bit disconsolate, and at last
made up her mind 10 spend Sunday in
town. Her failure to reply had not
worried Fred very much, as he was
up to his eyes in work.
Sunday afternoon Miss Fiske, hav-
ing persuaded herself that her wrist
was paining her somewhat, decided to
visit her friend, and had no difficulty
in finding the house, as it bore a sign
with the doctors name. He was prob
ably very busy she mused as she rang
the bell.
"a few minutes later DR.. Jordan en-
tered, and Miss Fisl0e hastened across
the parlor 20 meet him, exclaiming:
why, how do you do, doctor?'
Very well, thank you he an.
