Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
lnflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
THIS tube is infiamed you have a rumb-
ing sound or imperfect hearing. and
when 1t is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restor-
ed to It's normal condition. hearing will
be destroyed forever. nine cases out
OF ten are caused by Catarrh. which
is nothing but an inf1amed condition
OF the mucous services.

in which the native population is de-

sons met death shortly before
O'Clock A. M.
Two entire families, those Of Ma
ranio Triolo and Charles Polognio, are
wiped out, the last living member Of
each being now in hospital, with no
hope of their recovery. They are
Charles Polognio, SO years old. and
Tony Triolo, 10 years old, both Of
whom are terribly burned. Although.
in the opinion of the coroner, all the
dead were sufiocated, the bodies were
badly burned before they could be
taken from the ruins by the fremen
The burned tenement-house is in
the center of row of three-story ten
ements extending the length of the
block, and was occupied by Italians.
The fire is supposed to have started
in the cellar of the grovery store OF
Antonio Giambalvos, on the ground
floor. The cellar was stored with in
famable material, and the flames
spread with lightning rapidity. All
the occupants were asleep at the time
and there was considerable delay If
sending in the first alarm. The Clam
balvos family lived in the rear of the
store, and succeeded in getting out OF
the building, but before the occupants
on the two other floors were reused
their escape had been cut off.
Before the firemen arrived the flre
had communicated to the adjoining
tenement, but here the occupants had
sufficient warning, and all. escaped
The work of the firemen was greatly
hampered for time by the crowd of
frightened Italians who filled the
streets. The tenants in nearly all tho
neighboring buildings dragged their
household goods out of the buildings,
and with them blocked the way of the
fire apparatus.
All the bodies were found in the rear
room of the third floor, and it was evil
dent that all had been suffocated in
their effort to8reach the fre-escape.at
the back of the. building The two
who were rescued were found in the
lower hallway soon after the fremen
reached the scene, Working their way
through the building the rescuers dis
covered the heapsof dead on the third
floor, and within a short time Sue

the last was not found until after 8
