Mark Twain on Prohibition,

Crossing the Atlantic with Mark
Twain last summer" said a W. G.
T. U. woman, II asked his opinion
of the prohibition law. His reply
was very characteristic, very hum
orous.
I am a friend of temperance
and want 1t to succeed he said,
but I don't think prohibition is
practicable. The Germans, you see,
prevent 1t. Look at them. ! am
sorry to learn that they have just
invented method to make brandy
out OF sawdust. Now, what chance
will prohibition have when man
can take a ripsaw and go out and
get drunk with fence rail-? What
is the good Of prohibition If a man
is able TO make brandy mashes out
of the shingles on his roof, or II he
can get delerium tremins by drink
ing the legs OF the kitchen chairs?"

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that Is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect. hear
ing, 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
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out OF ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an infiamed condition OF the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
