REVEREND FLETCHER COOK
Delivers an Interesting and Well
Attended Sermon at the Episco-
pal Church.

Reverend Fletcher Cook of AL
buquerque delivered an interest
ing sermon at the Episcopal
church Sunday evening. The
sermon had been announced as
of especial interest to faculty
and students of the School Of
Mines, but a general invitation
was given, with the result that
the church was comfortably fill
ed with an interested and atten-
tive congregation. Mr.. Cook
had chosen for his text the
words, 1T hath not yet appeared
what we shall be-" He spoke of
hopefulness, despair, compro-
mise, and peace as experiences
in human life and from these ex-
periences he drew much that was
instructive and inspiring. The
sermon created a very favorable
impression.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they
cannot reach the diseased portion
of ear. There is only one wav to
cure deafness, and that is by con.
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inilamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbing
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, denf-
ness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surface.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness
Caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.
