They consist, for the most part or

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

BIZ local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion ofthe ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by eonsti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition Of the mucous lining Oh
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed YOU have rumblingsound or imper-
feet hearing, and when il is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the infiam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored 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 mucous surfaces.

In Memoriam.

Last Wednesday morning, March 80,
1904. at O'Clock, John Herbert, the
bright little son of Mr. and Mrs. w. L..
Sutherland, died Mt their home at Cal
houn after several days illness of
pneumonia. He was two years old,
just ut the stage when his sweet prattle
was so interesting and his baby ways
81, cute. lie was always frail, and
when disease took hold, like q tender
lily, which has been ruthlessly broken
by the wind, soon withers and is no
more, he, too. passed away just as easy,
Just as gently. After appropriate fun
eral services, conducted by the pastor,
Rev. 6. w. Bussey, the body was
placed in it's last resting place in the
cemetery ut Shady Grove by tho side
of his little sister, who .joyfully greeted
him at hnavens gate.

Bear, then, with meekness whate'er He
doth send,
It lies in His power to give and to take,
he loves and he chastcns, but ne'er
will forsake.
It ia comforting to know that Herbert
sweetly rests;
No pain, no dread, he leans on the Sa-
vior'e breast;
Grant us the grace to say, "Thy will
be done,"
And may peace and submission to our
broken spirits come. Y.

then raise the required amount by
