Deuel. Is mournful cry frequently
met with In the New York press. But

chance to remove unfit judges on their
own motion. But would such men
have got upon the bench under the APP
pOintiye system?

Deafness Cannot be Cured

reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and chat is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by al inf ned con
dition Of the mucous liui@g Of the
Eustachain Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirefy closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored 70 its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out Of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh. which is nothing but an
inflamed condition Of the mucous sur
