Shot at Bunny; Hit n Bear,

When John Potter of Sullivan Coun-
ty went rabbit hunting the other day
he put three shells charged with buck
shot into his belt in anticipation of
meeting a fox, says the Port Jervis
On. ", correspondent of the New
York World. 1t was to this foresight
that he owed his life. At the edge of
a swamp the hunter sighted rabbit
Bunny was brought down with q load
of birdshot, but the fine shot scattered
and the rabbit fell. Potter heard a
terrific roar from clump of bushes.
Several of the small shot had struck
a huge bear in the nose and he plunged
from the underground the maddest
animal that ever poked his head out of
a swamp Potter was so completely
taken by surprise that he had no time
to run when the bear charged He
sprang to one side and escaped a blow
from the beasts paw, but a second
blow struck him in the leg, ripping his
felt boot from top to sole and tearing
the flesh.
Unmindful of the pain, Potter bolted
for open country with the bear at his
leels. He encountered a rail fence
and vaulted over it, but in doing so
he dislocated his left wrist and fell
In desperation he showed one of the
buckshot cartridges into his gun. and
as the bear was clambering over the
fence after him he fired the full charge
into the bears head. The bear fell
dead within two feet of Potter The
hunter walked five miles to have his
injuries dressed by a physician.

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 inf1amed condition OF the mu-
cous lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when 1t is
entirely closed. Deafness Is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored TO its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca

At the first sign of Backache or pain
