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 infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is infam'
ed YOU have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused ty Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi'
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars fol
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrf

Scores Of Brownsville Readers Are Learn

FIG INDUSTRY
in SOUTH TEXAS.
Rapid Development for Market
Purposes.
Preserving plants Established IN this Sec

of Fig.-Large Acreage in
Cameron County.

Fig culture is rapidly becoming an
industry in Southwest Texas.
Manv orchards are already bearing
in and near this city, and many
others are being set ont. A sim
liar development is going on in the
Gulf Coast section, and since the
demand for preserved figs has IN
creased in the last two or three
wears the demand for fresh figs IS
estimated to be 200 greater than
the supply AS result fig grow
ers are realizing from 500 to $500
an acre from their orchards
There are number of fig preserv-
ing plants now in operation IN
Southern and Southwest Texas.
One large concern, backed partly

will bear at FIVE years 40 pounds of

be planted on an acre. The facto-
ries pay three cents a pound for the
fruit. The fig is very hardy, re
ouires little care or attention.
There is near this city magnolia
fig tree eight years old bearing 65
pounds annually. Fig trees in this
section are known TO live and bear
for thirty to forty years.
A great many fresh figs are con-
sumed in Texas and few are ship

Ibear shipment well unless preserv-
ed. When properly put up, the
preserved fig will keep three years
Preserving is not difficult, and
