April 26, aged one year, two months
and twenty days. She was bright
and loving child. She was sick only
thirty-two hours. All was done for
her that loving parents, friends and
physician could do, but to no avail,
meningitis being the dread disease.
Darling Pearl, thy place is vacant,
List, thy foot steps no more we
hear.
God has called his little angel,
All the trouble we must bear.
She was but a flower lent us,
And the Father from above
WIZ send sunshine after darkness
To remind us Of his love.
AUNT ADDIE.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intiamed con-
dition OF the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed YOU have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirelv 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; nlne cases out of ten are caus-
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but-an
inhamed condition OF the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars free.
