Deafness Can,s be Cured

oy local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con- St1tuttonal remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets perfect hearing. and when it is entirely 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 infiamed condition of the mucuous sur faces.
 We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

MANY WEAR CARNATIONS.

The fact that yesterday McKinley's birthday
was emphasized in some of the schools by the
wearing of carnations, suggested by the Mckln-
ley Carnation Society. Many busy of the city
wore carna tions in business hours something they
would not have thought of doing another day.
and commendation of their example was general
enough indicate that the custom of wearing the
late Presidents favorite flower in the buttonhole
on his birthday may be popular in future years.
At the Presbyterian Hospital there was effort
to comply with the request Of the society All
the members Of the hospital staff and all the
nurses and attendants in the hospital wore carna-
tions which had been sent to the institution by
persons interested in the soc1etyst suggestion This
was the only observance of the day at the hospital
1t was suggested yesterday that movement for
the observance of the day by wearing carnations
could be advanced in the most effective way
through the public schools of the city, and an
other year there may be requests by the society
have all the school children wear the flower on
McKinley's birthday.
