Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining Of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is inflam-
ed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, en1 when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, and un-
less the infamn alton can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forev-
er; nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an infiam-
ed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars fol

1t Is likewise a crime to bring the
uniform of the sovereign into contempt.
To garb low comedian or a villain of
the stage in discarded uniform of the
army or the navy is sufficient to bring
heavy censure from the government.
For this reason theatrical managers
usually see to it that the uniforms worn
are not exactly copies of the real
things.

city hospital and the physicians have
open it wider than Is necessary to eat
and drink. Eight years ago Barnes,
who is printer, arose from his bed
and yawned. He could not close his
jaws and he had to see a physician.
Recently Barnes was eating a ham
sandwich in a restaurant and opened
his mouth wide. His jaw instantly bA-
came dislocated and he immediately
went to the city hospital.
His jaw was set and he started out
to buy another meal. He hardly had
seated himself when an irresistible de-
sire to yawn overcame him. Again his
jaw was dislocated and he had an
other trip to the dispensary, where
again his jaw was set He left the
yawned, with the same result The
doctors finally told him to remain al
the institution to permit them to study
his case.
