Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
tho diseased portion OF the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an infiamed condition Of the mn,

this tube is innamed you have a rumbIing
sound or imperfect hearing, and when It is
entirely closed, Deafness IL the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored TO its normal condl.
ton. hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by Ca.

The bishop of London's humor, now
tender and kind, now sardonic and
cruel, made him many friends in
America.
'"rhe bishop amused me-" said a
clergyman, "at a dinner of divines in
New York. We divines are q modest

gets the better of us, and then we
brag and boast n make ourselves

"a Boston divine at this dinner got

And then at great length he told
us how women had wept at his beg

hoarse sobs, and in an ava
lanche the contributions had poured
in-gold and ~greenbacks, checks, even
jewels and watches and great heaps

leaned forward with a twinkle in his
