we have plenty of oil, of the high
est grade, our tank with So, 900
barrels capacity is about full and
we must have another tank or con-
struct pipe line" What is that
oil worth Mr.. RobinsonS That's
the question, l suppose in its crude
state anywhere from $500 up per
barrel. If $500, the tanks con-
tents would bring $112, 900, it may
bring double this amount" 81

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 inflamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inhamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect 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 destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh !;
which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
