Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only way to cure Deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is intlamed you have Il rumblins
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 restored to Its normal condi-
ton. herring will be destroyed forever;
nine eases out of ten are caused by Ca
tnrrh. which is nothing but an infiamed con-
,lition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrhi
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

offered her harp as Il prize to the mu-

and sweetly on it, and when the verdict
was given in favor of Miss Beatrix

of the time pulling him until his
tongue run out and his face turned
blue. But dad was game, and don't
you forget it.
Before noon we got on top of a
glazier, which is the ice Of frozen
river, that moves all the time, sliding
towards the sea. There was nothing
but hard winter, in summer, to the
experience, and we would have gone
back the same night, only dad slipped
down crevice about 100 feet with the
rope on him, and the two guides
couldn't pull him up, and we had to
send lunch down to him on the rope
and one of the guides had to 60 back
to the village for help to get dad up.
Well, sir, think dad was nearer dead
than he ever was before, but they sent
down a bottle of brandy, and when he
drank some of 1t the snow began TO
melt and he was warm enough to use
bad language.
He yelled to me that this was the
limit and wanted to know how long
they were going to keep him there. I
yelled to him that one of the guides
had gone for help to pull him out. and
he said for them to order yoke of
oxen. told him that probably he
would have to remain there until
spring opened and that was going
back to America and leave him there,
and he better pray don't know
whether dad prayed. down there in the
bowels of the mountains, but he didn't
pray when help came. and they finally
hauled him up. His breath was gone,
but he gave those guides some Ian
guage that would set them to think
ing If they could have understood
him, and finally we started down the
mountain. They kept the rope on dad
and every little while he would slip
and slide 100 feet or so down the
mountain on his pants, and the snow
would go up his trousers legs clear to
his collar, and the exercise made him
so hot that the steam came out of his
clothes, and he looked like locomo-
tive wrecked in snow bank blowing
off steam.
1t became dark and I expected we
would be killed. but before midnight
we got to the station and changed our
clothes and paid off the guides and
took a train back. Dad said to me, as
we got on the cars: Now. Hennery,
have done this glazier stunt. just to
show you that a brave man. whatever
his age. is equal to anything they can
propose in Europe. but by ginger, this
settles 1t, and now want to go where
things come easier. am now going
to Turkey and see how the Turks wor-
