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 inf1amed condition of the mucous lin- ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed you have a rum bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamma- ton can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hear 1 ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed con- dition of tho mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu- lars, free

THE. Republican convention
meets in Charlotte next week
and while, from what some
writer's say there will be no
amount of racket over who shall
be the nominee, the meeting
will be interesting for many
reasons. Tee event will be
watched with interest. Of course
the talk that the Republicans
will carry the election is out of
reason, but if what people that
get around a good deal say is
true, there is little reason but to
believe that the Republican vote
will reduce former Democratic
majorities, and in many close
counties may secure a representa-
tive to the legislature.
