DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the car. There is only one
way to cure deafness. and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflam ed
you have e rumhling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when il 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 will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an iniiamed con
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrhl that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send FOR

Splendid Program, Beautifully Rendered, For

the musical.

church was appointed with Mrs. Staple

unanimously placed the musical in the
hands Of Mdes. Aylesworth and Samp-

Thos seems not to have been thor

the committee who failed to report
their talent. ~.
