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 nhamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is infamed you have rumbling sound or i'm.
perfect hearing. and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the in
hammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

likely, March IS will be the last
day on earth for Leo. c. Thurman,
who is to be hanged here next Friday

this city Thurman was practically
penniless. while Dolsen had about
$500, which he had saved from nis pay
Ia the marine corps.
While Dolsen slept one night Thur
man chopped the defenseless man 10
pieces with an axe, robbed MIN, pack
ed the body in a trunk and tied a tag
on II ready for shipment to Edenton,
N. c. The crime was discovered al
most Immediately but not before
Thurman had eluded the police and
left the city. He went south, and al
ter wandering across the continent, he
finally located In Vancouver. 3. s.
