Deafness Cannot be Cured.

reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
.inhamed condition of the mucous
ining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumhling sound or imperfect heal :
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases ont of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

the claims for damages in collision

the steel ore with which she was

last Legislature. 1t was averred that
the rates fixed, for passenger AMI

forced; that the roads were denied
equality before the law and that the
action of the Legislature, had deprived
them Of the rights given and assured
by both the Constitution Of Alabama
and OF the United States.
After attorneys for the railroads and
for the state had been heard, Judge
Jones ordered that an Injunction be
granted against the Alabama Railroad
Commission and the Attorney General
of Alabama, forbidding them to carry
into effect the laws passed by the
Legislature, until further hearing Of
