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 inflamed 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 en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation a be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which Is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

Mexico on a Gold Basis.

Mexico is putting itself on a gold
basis in a very matter-of-fact way. 1t
is selling its silver ser at an en-
HANGED value and buying gold in the
United States, an order for $4,000, OUU
worth being recently sent us. Bank
ers make the claim that the change to
gold will greatly strengthen the credit
of Mexico. 1t is always good policy to
make any change that will result in
lasting benefit, and with this idea in
view, thousands of persons have made
a change in their medicine and are now
taking Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
They write us that their old remedy did
them no good, while the Bitters soon
made them well again. If you're not
taking Hostetter's, start today. You'll
find it quickly relieves indigestion, dys'
pepsia headache heartburn costive-
ness, female ills, insomnia and ma.
laria, fever and ague. Don't. accept

MISSING U BE
OF OLD NEWSPAPERS.

OF OLD
The university library has just re-
ceiyed from the bindery the following
old and valuable volumes of the Lara
ME Sentinel, which DIR. Finfrock was
kind enough to donate some time ago:
March, 1874, to April, 1878.
May, 1878, to December, 1880.
January, 1881, to April 1883.
May, 1888, to December, 1885.
January, 1886, to April, 1888.
These valuable files are complete eX-
cept for the following numbers: May
8, August 16, September 81, October 4
and IL, of 1856; November 10, 1876;
May %, october 8, November 10, 1880;
May 20 and November 8, 1882; October
7, 1882; January %, 1886; October 16,
1886 and February 10, 1887. The uni
versity would be very grateful if it
could obtain these numbers, and would
appreciate any effort the citizens of
Laramie would make toward obtaining
the same.

DIED SUDDENLY
OF HEART DISEASE.

How frequently does a head line SINH
lar to the above greet us in the news
papers. The rush, push and strenuous
ness of the American people has a strong
tendency to lead up to valvular and other
affections Of the heart, attended by ir-
regular action, palpitation, dizziness,
s%mothered sensations and other distress
ing symptoms.
Three of the prominent ingredients OF
which DR.. Pierce's Golde Medical Dis
covery is made are recommended by some
of the leading writers on Mdtertd Medlcd
for the cure Of just such cases. Golden
Seal root, for instance, is said by the
UNITED STATES OBSERVATORY, a stand
ard authority, ITO impart tone and In
creased power to the hearts action
Numerous other leading authorities rep
resent Golden Seal as an unsurpassed
tonic for the muscular system in general,
and as the heart is almost wholly com
| posed Of muscular tissue, 1t naturally
follows that 1t must be greatly strength
ened by this superb, general tonic. But
probably the most important ingredient
Of Golden Medical Discovery" so far
as its marvellous cures of valvular and
other affections of the heart are con-
cerned, is Stone root, or CollinSOnid Can,
Prof. VIM. Paine, author of Paine's
Epitomy of Medicine, a y of IL:
III. not Ion since. had a patient who was
so much oppressed with ~yalyular disease OF
the heart that his friends were Obliged to
carry him upstairs He. however. gradually
recovered under the influence of Collinsonin
medicinal principle extracted from Stone
root. and is now attending 10 his business.
Heretofore physicians knew of no remedy
for the removal of so distressing and so dan
gerous a malady. With them 1t was all
guess work. and 1t f~earfully warned the
afflicted that death was near at hand Col
linsonin unquestionsbly affords relief in
such cases. and in most instances effects a
cure
Stone root is also recommended by Drs.
Hale and Ellingwood, of Chicago, for
yalvularsand other diseases of the heart.
The latter says: VT is a heart tonic of
direct and permanent influence
Golden Medical Discovery" not only
cures serious heart affections, but is q
most efficient general tonic and invigor-
ator, strengthening the stomach, invig-
Grating the liver, regulating the bowels
and curing catarrhal affections in all
parts of the system.

An old gentleman named E Meeker
accompanied by IN assistant, is tray
cling through Wyoming eastward
bound, having already been over four
months on the road from Washington.
He is making the trip in an old-fash-
Toned prairie schooner, one Of the real
things, with slanting bow and stern,
and drawn by a symmetrical and well
matched yoke OF oxen. His mission
on this strange expedition is to erect
monuments along the old Oregon trail
that first came into use by emigrants
as far back as 1852 and which the
rapid decrease of old overland tray
elers will soon cause to be forgotten,
thereby o%bliterating from the memory
of future generations all knowledge OF
what was once the great highway be-
tween the east and the west, a highway
that Mr.. Meeker himself Travelled in
those long 6 II perilous times.
