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 constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely 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 moth
ing but an infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

The town trustees of Sonora, in
their effort to devise ways and means
to run the city government, imposed
a license tax on almost every kind of
business. Among others, the law
yers were required to pungle up So
per quarter for the privilege of doing
business. The legal fraternity fail
ed to see either law or justice in this
hold-up scheme, and carried the
matter to the courts. The legality
OF the enactment was sustained by
the superior court, but an appeal TO
the supreme court was taken, and
that tribunal has just decided the
tax to be illegal. The point made
by appellant was that it was a tax
upon labor, or upon the right to
earn living, which is perfectly true.
But the same may be said of license
tax upon any other business. A
storekeeper pays license for the
right to carry on his business; so
does the Snowman, the telephone
company, and clean down the line of
the licensed schedule. The whole
license system ought to be abolish
ed, so far as it relates to necessary
and useful avocations.
