Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, 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 inhamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send fol

Coming on top of the news Of the
defeat, in which eight German officers
and 38 men persisted and 112 were

to the belief that the military forces

driven to bay in intrenched positions
and that there is intense suffering fol

BEWARE OF THE RANGE MEN.
They are Again in the County Work
ing Their Graft.

ing Their Graft.
The REFLECTOR has been informed
that the steel range men are in the
county again having been working
q few miles northwest Of town.
This is class OF men 1t will paw to
let alone. These men are out for the
money and when they can get q
farmer to take range on trial they
either get the money or note. They
seldom fail.
Do not let these men put range in
to your home even on trial. In the
first place the range they sell is an
inferior article and In the next place
they will swiudle you before they get
through with you. They will tell you
that you do not have to take the
stove il you do not like it when the
inspector comes around but the in
spector never comes around. Instead
it is the collector and these companies
do not employ Sunday. school men to
do their collecting. The same kind
men are employed that the fake light
ming rod companies employ. They
will get the money some way or an
other. They will make endless trou'
bic for the farmer. The best way is
to lot them alone.
II a farmer needs range he can
get better bargain right here in Abb.
lene than be can get from any ped
dler. Watch your local paper and
see who have ranges to sell. The RE-
FLECToR does not hesitate to guaran-
tee that il any farmer or any one else
purchases steel range Of any concern
in its columns he will not
be swindled. He will pay no more
than he agrees to pay and besides he
has a bonA-ide guarantee from the
merchant. What is guarantee
worth that you get from one OF these
peddlersP Where will you ever see
,im againP He is after your money
md then no is gone. Beware Of ped
ers.
