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 con stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inhamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachan Tube. When this tube IS intlamed you have a rumbling sound or lm- nerfect hearing and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result and unless the inilam' nation can be taken out and the tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de- -..oood forever. nine cases out of ten are ,ssed by Catarrh, which is nothing hut an m aamed condition of the mucous surfaces

Profitable Crop.

Mort Sturgeon, who lives on the river, came in with load of COW peas that brought him $5O.25. He said the total cost of raising these peas was only Sl4, this be- ing paid out for picking and threshing. If farmers would give more attention to this crop they would realize more profit. Too many farmers make no preparation for pea seed and are forced to buy, when by just a little fore-thought they could not only have plenty of seed, but some to spare.-Siloam Springs Republican.
