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
constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed con-
,lition Of ths mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect 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 Catarrh,
which is nothing but an lnflamed
condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case OF Deafness
caused by Catarrh-that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh

In the distance on the winding road

appeared behind a clump of trees, and
when It emerged and drew up at the

turnout It was. The horse was as

shining with ornaments, and the cart
and the groom's livery were faultless.

approached us rapidly, and as il came
almost abreast, to my surprise ]
recognized the young man who was sit

"Hullo, Murray" said Vincent and

lightly from his high seat and cam,
