Deoth of Ocean Cables. j,

There seems to be no logical reason
why cables cannot be laid across any
of the ocean regardless Of the
Some portions OF the Atlantic
cables now in use are Owe three miles
below the surface. There is also no
logical reason Why you should continue
to suffer from loss of appetite, belching,
Aatulency, sour stomach, headache, in
digestion, dyspepsia or malaria, fever
and when Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters will positively cure you. 1t has
cured thousands Of other cases, probably
more serious than yours. during itshalf
century experience, and this, together
with5the fact that prominent physicians
never hesitate in recommending it,
should be sufficient reason for 5ufging
you to try it. The genuine has our pri-
vate stamp over the neck Of the bottle.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they annot
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 infamed con.
dition of the mucous lining Of the Eusta.
chan Tube. When this tube is inham-
ed you have a rumbling sound or i'm.
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 infamed con-
dition of the mucous services.
We will give IL hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

Strong succeeded In securing COM
municauon with a station he had es.
tablished at the stock yards.
In May, 1877, Strong patented his
model, which consisted OF an electric
speaking telephone, a permanent mag.
net In a coil Of insulated wire with a
metal diaphragm. In the meantime
In 1916, the Bell company had secured
patent on an instrument which had
been invented In the same year.
Strong's patent infringed theirs in no
way, as the principle on which the
Bel telephone operated involved the
use OF an electromagnetic, while the
Strong instrument was connected with
permanent magnet.
In September. 1877, there was a fire
In the United States patent office. At
some time between May and Decem-
Der the Strong model disappeared. In
December, 1877. the Bell Telephone
Company put In commercial use a
model which bears a striking resem.
blance to the Strong. The case of the
Strong patent vested In the Atlantic
and Western Telephone Company.
