Fifteen trains on the Cumberland
Valley railroad carried nearly 5000
people to the Conococheague camp

reason to believe the total number of
peoplein attendance was nearly 10, 600.

present in 1901.

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 by an i'm
famed condition of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube getsindamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when 1t is entirely closed Deafness IL
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing win be destroyed forevers
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which Is nothing but an inAamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case OF Deafness (eaused by catarrh) that cam
