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 constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inaammcd condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachtan Tube.
When this tube is infammed you have a
rumOling 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 nor
NAL condition, hearing vii be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed
condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case OF Deafness lcaused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure

 Georgie Bone is happy. He broke his string of hard luck by defeating the leaders last night down in New Haven.
 Tommy Leahy, the popular polo referee, is to join the Kansas City ball nine about the middle of March. Good luck to you, Tommy, you de- serve it.
 Manager Starkie is reported to be we'll satisfied with the way things are going in Springfield. The prospects look bright for another season, as the game is said to catching on good.
 New Haven is mourning the fact that the Boneyards have let some of their players go. Miller has been re- leased to Springfield, and the fans and condemning Bone for letting him go.
 New Britain thinks that Bridgeport is the only team that will give them a fight for the pennant. New Britain will have several brain storms more before Waterbury gets through with her.
 New Haven is accused of violating the rule of carrying more than six men. The Boneyards are charged with carrying seven. And George Bone is such stickler for polo eti- yuet too. when it comes to putting in protests.
