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 inAamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

had some notion of sending letter
to the Democrat and the only reason
do not is because l do not like to keep
these things in mind and go over them
as one must, to write about them, and
for that same reason / have not written
you people the further description |
promised. Those days and nights we're
so terrible live them over as little as
can. When l am further removed from
those times and scenes, shall feel diff
ferently. In that time Ofawful calamity
there were only few things that cheer
ed one. The first and greatest was the
ever present army, stern and fearless,
helping the weak where possible, and
subjecting and controlling San Francisco
ruffians for the first time in their lives.
They, just the same as respectable citi-
zens, were told what to d. once. and
then to their amazement and sorrow
they found soldier and a Krag-Jorg-
enson were entirely different from a
policeman and club. Many came too
late to do them any good however,
while the reports sent out say little
about this. The crack of the Krag-Jorg-
enson was a familiar sound for several
days, and honest people felt safer for it.
San Francisco hoodlums will never
again try to set the army at naught.
Another thing good to see was the
use made of automobiles. These ma
chimes and the army were all that made
it possible to save any thing and keep
the city from absolute chaos. They were
every where and there was no speed
limit on the smooth pavement of Golden
Gate Ave, going to and from army
headquarters and the fire lines, and
carrying away the wounded and dead
These great cars ran at speed ranging
from 80 to so miles an hour, going up
