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 al infamed con
dition of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachain Tube When this tube is
infained you have a runbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out Of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but an
infla1ned condition of the mucous, sur

Notes from Upper saluda.

The health of this section is good,
but rations are short and crops are
shorter.
This section had visit from Rev.
E j. Sox the 7th instant. We ap-
preciated his visit very much and
hope he enjoyed it.
The Dispensary has been cussed,
discussed and recussed. When that
law is set aside We have no State law
to control the sale of whiskey. Then
psndamonium will reign.
The race problem lies nearest my
heart and I may have something to
say about it in the future.
Now I am in Simon Wheeler's po-
sition at the candy pulling: ''Oh
cotton thou mighty monster. thou
shalt be bought low, thou art sfaicted

numbered. BE that works is OF
