Deafness Cannot be Cured.

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 inhamed con-
dition of the mucus lining of the Eusta-
chian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling 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 it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
tion of the mucous surfaces.

BIG FIRE Loss
At De FUNIAK
Much Property Burned and
Capt. Flournoy's Fine Law
Library Destroyed.

DeFuniak, Dec. 24.-About twelve
O'Clock Tuesday midnight citizens OF
DeFuniak were awakened by the fire
alarm sounding, and found that the
splendid large three-story building.
known as the Flournoy block, was on
fire in the third story. The fire rapid
ly spread and before long. the whole
building was in flames. So fierce was
the fire that for a time 1t was thought
that the First National Bank across
the street would catch, and from there
would spread to the principal business
block, but owing to the wind and the
work of the volunteer fire department,
that building was saved
The wind being from the northwest,
it was not long before the large new
hotel that was being built, together
with the buildings in between, were
one mass of great angry flames, and it
was feared that the Presbyterian
church would not escape, but though
the air was full of sparks and many
fell on the roof of the church, owing
to the recent heavy rains the roof was
damp. and so the church was saved.
Several small frame buildings were
demolished, thus offering no fuel to
the flames which soon died out.

was justly proud. and he lost every
book. Had the fire occurred few
weeks later, We would have had the
water works in running order, and no
doubt there would not have been half
the loss there was. The loss is about
$685. mostly covered by insurance.
