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 inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation 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 inhamed 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. Send for circulars, free.

ances 10 the iDquests OF The drowning Of
the three colored men, Grady, Hardy and
McKenny This accident occurred, II
not 10 Maryland, certainly not 10 Wiz.
Rinis, and the rsAsOns for three sepsra c
inques is not understood. Ga Sunday
morning tbres Bsldmoresns were
drowned while swimming 10 the Pa!ux-
ent river at Shtridsn's Point nelr
Dukes wharf, Calvert county. Toey
were: Frank T. Ssbul,z, 25 years old;
George n. Combs, 26 years old, and DR..
Howard Eastman, about 80 years old.
They reached their destination about 2
O'Clock Sunday morning. After getting
several hours sleep MessrS. Schultz, aud
Combs and DR.. Eastman, With two
others, started from the house together.
They walked toward the shore, but be-
fore reaching there the other Two men,
btri of the party turned back.
The three continued to the shore for
a plunge. Mr.. Schultz was 8 good
swimmer, bat 1t could not be sscertained
just how far the knowledge Of Mr..
Combs and DR.. Eastman went In this
line.
The point on the shore selected by
the party lie an extremely dangerous one.
The water is shallow for short distance
from the shore line aud then suddenly
drops to depth of So feet. This drop
marks the tide line aud anyone falling
into the deep water al this point, even
though q good swimmer, would expert
ence difficulty in freeing himself from
the tide, which runs strong there.
While there was not an eye witness
to the drowning, 1t Is believed one OF
the party who could not swim probably
waded ont In the shosl water to the
deep point and, then falling into the
deep water, gave cry for help. Mr..
Schultz, who WAS an excellent swimmer,
It is reasoned, naturally went to the
rescue, but the tide there was too strong
for him and he was carried under In The
whifl. The other one Of the trio no
