DEAFNEss CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cuerd by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars free.

MOTING TOWARD PERSIA.
Russia Orders 5000 Men to the
Disputed Frontier.

St Petersburg. Feb Alive thousand troops
have been ordered from the Northern Caucasus
to the Turko-Persan frontier. whittier smaller
detachments of soldiers have been moving stead
lily for several weeks
This concentration is due to the aggressive
attitude of the Turks in their frontier dispute
with the Persians
1t is believed in St Petersburg that Russia is
about to undertake a military demonstration
against Turkey
Recent advices received from the Caucasus In
dieate that the Russian inhabitants are consd-
erably alarmed over the concentration of Tur-
kish troops In Armenia and the region seized
from Persia, which. It Is believed is designed as
reply to any attempt at demonstration on the
part of Russia
Under the cover of Kurdish tribesmen, the
Turks are reported 10 be massng infantry at
Bayazid and other strategic points the
frontier in such strength to dispose Of the
probability that the movement is intended solely
against militant Persia
Russia now has only two army corps in the
Caucasus large part of which is dispersed in
attachments through the country to preserve or
der or engaged in punitive expeditions An Of
hcer is quoted as saying that the Turks could. in
case Of trouble. sweep the Caucasus and occupy
Tifis in ten days Turkish emissaries and spies,
it is said to be found everywhere fomenting
disorder, and the Mosem Inhabitants. particu-
larry in DagLestan, are IN open sympathy with
their co-religionfsts across the border
The authorities here, though admitting the
seriousness of the Turko-P Persian relations do
not share the views held IN the Caucasus, and
say that the possibility Of hostilities with Tur-
key, over which Russians there anxious, is
utterly excluded. Certain precautionary meas
ures. however, are being taken by the military
council. and IN the last three weeks all regi-
ments in that territory have been ordered to
hold themselves in readiness to move at short
notice.
