His UnIucky Day.

Possibly some of our readers
may have an unlucky day but few
can equal the experience OF George
White who for many years has
been In the employment of lead
Ing publishing firm In Pittsburg.
On April ID 1875, he fell over a
pole and broke his left arm. Exact
ly a year afterward he broke his
left leg. On April II, 1887, he
fell from a platform and smashed
his wrist and was obliged to have
an arm amputated. On April "a
1888, he escaped but his wife had
a serious accident. On April ID
1889, he slipped and broke three
ribs. Then his employers told him
to take that date as a holiday. But
in 1891 he dreamed of a coming
accident so the manager advised
him to come to work on April IL
and dispel the superstition. He
came and fell down stairs and
broke his remaining arm.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF
the ear. There Is only one way to
cure deafness and that Is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness
Is caused by an inhamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube Is
infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t Is entirely closed, deafness
Is the result, and unless the inham-
nation can be taken out and this
tube restored to normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an
.inhamed condition of the mucous
services.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case Of deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot be
