Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local appliances, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There ia only one
way 10 cure deafness, and that Is by constitu.
tiobal remedies. Deafness Is caused by an In
famed condition Of the mucous lining Of the
Eustacbian Tube. When this tube IL inhamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
Ing, and when II Il entirely closed. Deafness is
the result. and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to It's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out OF ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.

such equipment as designed by the
c., G. & r. it will be necessary that
the people of Richmond be charitable
and liberal in allowing the amount of
space necessary for successfully OPP
Grating this system. 1t became neces-
for two routes Should seventh street
be granted and the bridge never built
that right of way would be useless,
hence we would be compelled to use
route along the west bank of White
water and maintain depot at or
near the Doran bridge, giving trans
fer into the city, and from which
point we could go north with an out
let eastward into Ohio. In any event,
were the bridge built and We used
seventh street for passenger traffic
the city would reap great benefit by
giving us facilities to get our freight
trains up to that point where we
might transfer our business to the
c., C. & L. and Pennsylvania freight
warehouses, thus obviating the neces-
sity of running freight trains entire
ly through the heart of the city.
"The citizens of Richmond should
not be unmindful of the fact that this
is not merely trolley passenger road,
but designed to be of as much bene-
fit in the handling of local and car
load freight as steam road and
would give the merchants an outlet to
the southwest not now enjoyed. There
has been no disposition to keep mat
tiers IN the wark or not to fully in
form the city government as to the
intentions and purposes of this com
be open and above board and to show
the utmost fairness towards the city
of Richmond and we feel that while
there has been considerable discussion
that the city officials aim and desire
to receive this project with open arms,
guarded only with those things neces-
sary for the protection of the best
interests Of your city, and we trust
that this spirit may continue to exist
and that we may be enabled to do all
those things contemplated and prom
ised to the satisfaction and benefit Of
the community at large, and holding
the good intentions and confidence Of
your people in high esteem, have to
remain, Respectfully yours,
