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 constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an ibfamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever

which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

given an especially hearty welcome
by several of the memosrs who fought

enjoyed il would be putting it mildly.
They were in Washington to witness
the Inauguration of President Roose-
velt and were presented to him By
Representative Marshall of North
Dakota, who is q personal friend of
Mr.. Hicks.
