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 intiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and I'm.
less the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con-
dltlon, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in.
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Saturday night by thieves. The charge
of dynamite was so heavy that not only
were the doors blown off, but an entire
side of the depot building was demol-

dollars found in the safe. Two negroes
returning home saw them and fired
several shots, but without effect.

The difference i'm its foreign and

amount of our tariff duty. The
milk-sugar infant gets its protec-
ton at the expense of the human
infant. We are sacrificing human
infants on the altar of protection
We are putting the dollar above
the man. Yet our President is
discussing race suicide" without
suggesting lower duties ON food
and clothing, all of which vastly
increases the cost of living and
thus starve and freeze our little ones
and greatly increase the death rate.

earnings in l9O2-03 were about
