report that there had been declines Of
2 TO 8 points in American stocks, In the Lon
don market, end unfayorable reports from
all the foreign bourses added their weight to
the downward movement. A sharp rally
which followed early In the morning suffered

fusion. Later in the morning more support
was rushed in and temporary halt resulted,
but the last hour saw smother bear charge

The Alexandra Hospital.

To the Lady Managers OF the Alexsn.

Ladies' 1t has become my pleasant
duty to report the work done In the

There were admitted 81 patients; 81 OF

ment.
With the closing of the fiscal year 1t

IS q member of the medical staff. By
the last annual report 1t has been shown
that there were admitel into the
hospital during the past year Ais
patients. | regret not being able to state
the number admitted during my first
year of service but fee. confident It
could not have been fifty. There has
been performed in the hospital during
the past yesr 40 surgical operations,
whereas during my first year there was
but one, that being an amputation of
the leg OF a colored man on Christmas
day, the first major operation ever per-
formed In the hospital, which was then
located on Duke near Payne street.
cannot speak too highly Of the eff.
Gent and thorough work done by our
most worthy superintendent aud her
able corps Of nurses during my recent
term. Never have We had as compe.
tent, jealous and altogether as reliable 9
body Of nurses as tho pact year. Dever
saw body Of persons more thoroughly
consecrated to their work than these
ladies'; there is no demand too mental
for them to respond promptly 10 and they
seen happiest when they have tho great.
est amount of work to do.
Concerning our superintendent have
bat one opinion. For efficiency, for pro.
gresslveness, for keeping before her
minds eye one thought, and that thought
that no institution OF the same proper.
ton in or out of the State shall be more
up to date or thorough than ours. For
these traits OF character she cannot be
surpassed and it will be hard TO end her
equal. When things do not seem to pro.
gress just az she would like TO have
them, when her Scotch blood gets a
little overheated, when she puts her
shoulder 10 ihs wheel aud you hear her
say "Move little more lively, ycnng
ladies'" then take my word for it, there
is something doing.

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 Dy
an infismed condition Of the mucous lining
OF the Eustachisn Tube. When this tube Is
inflamed you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing. 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 condition. hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten are
caused by Csterrh, which is nothing but an
inlamed condition Of the mucous surfaces.
