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 constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
bv an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the eustachian tube.
When this tube gets infiamed you
have a rumbling 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 its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

One .of the most common statements
made in the letters grateful women
write to DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y,
is this III owe my life to DR.. Pierce"
These women have found themselves in
great danger. They have appealed
without avail to local physicians. They
have counseled in vain with women
advisers. The best that had been done
for them was just to keep them ahoat in
the sea of disease with strength visibly
failing, in the hope that the man who
had strength and skill to save them
might be found.
woMAN'S APPEAL ANSWERED.
Hundreds of thousands of women
have appealed to DR.. Pierce, for relief
from wouanly ills and not one has ap-
pealed in vain. The use of DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription supplemented by
the medical advice of DR.. Pierce has
been the means of cure to this vast army
of women suffering from diseases pecul-
lar to the sex.
UI wish to tell you the benefit I re-
ceived from using your remedies"

One day an old neighbor lady came in
to see me, and told me to try DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. She
said she knew it would help me, as it
had saved her life. When the doctors
had given her up and said they could
do nothing for her she said she began to
take DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
and it cured her So I got a bottle of
the Favorite Prescription and one of
Golden Medical Discovery and began
taking them. Before 1 had taken one
bottle of each was so much better

4 Man to The Rescue !!
The Woman in Peril Rarely Finds
Help From Her Own Sex.

1t is in no wise to woman's discredit
that she is not professional hfe-saver.
We can only fancy her in the irenan's
helmet, in the crew of the life-boat, or
welding policeman's club, at the loss
of some of that fineness which is the
distinguishing quality of her sex. The
Molly Pitchers and Grace Darlings are
only examples of the sublime self-for-
getfulness of women in great emer-
gencies.
It's much the same in other ways.
Women turn to the strength, skill and
judgment of men in the crises of life.

whoopine Cough.

A woman who has had experience
with this disease, tells how to pre-
vent any dangerous consequence
from it. She says: Our three chill
dren took whooping cough last sum-
mer, our baby boy being only three
months old, and owing to our giving
them Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
they lost none of their plumpness
and came out in much better health
than other children whose parents
did not use this remedy. Our oldest
little girl would call Justify for cough

Hunting with Trained Wolves.

Bert Decker. Il young sportsman of
Tuscola, ILL.,. has succeeded in tanning
two wolves. and they are very valua
bic as hunters. He captured them
when young, raised them as kittens"
and now, though as large as shepherd
dogs, they are quite tame and playful.
Decker says the wolves can outrun dogs
on the hunt and are very long winded.
The VOLTS favorite way of catching
n rabbit is to run alongside of him,
put its nose underneath Mr.. Cotton
tail and throw Kim ten or twelve feet
in the air, catching him in its mouth
as he falls. The wolves always return
to their master when called. Decker's
success has caused other sportsmen to
undertake the training of wolves to
supplant dogs in hunting. and it is
probable that wolves will find q place
in future kennels.-Cincinnad En-
