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 condi-
tion of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when 1t is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
Illumination 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 ain inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

PELLAGRA FOUND
IN THE WEST ALSO

WASHINGTON. Sept. 16.-Expressing .
confident belief that ''pallagra" is likely
to become in this country public health
problem of greater proportions than can
at the present time be realized. c. II.
Lavinder, assistant surgeon In the public
health and marine hospital service. has
just reported the results of his. investiga-
ton of the prevalence of that disease In
the Illinois State Hospital for the Insane,
to Surgeon General Wyman. As pre-
Jude to his report, DR.. Lavinder states
that the housing, feeding and care of pa
tients in the institution are above criti-
cism. ,tr
AS soon as the strange malady was dis
covered in the Illinois institution and
finally diagnosed as pellagra, the public
health and marine hospital service was
requested to cooperate in the Sinvestlg1-
ton of the outbreak there. There are in
the neighborhood of 40 or so
weIl-defned cases of pellagra in the in
stitution, according to DR.. I,avinder. He
states that the type of the disease found
there differs in some respects from the
general type he is familiar with in the
south. but that the disease should vary
in different localities is said to be not un-
usual.
CONDITIONS ARE POSITIVE,
DR., Lavinder, definite and well marked,
and admit of a positive diagnosis. Inquiry
was made as to how much corn or its
products entered into the general diet, and
1t was learned that corn is used sparins-
ly, perhaps on an average of not more
than two or three times a week. The
quality of the meal and hominy which
saw was to all appearances excellent.
am unable to assign any satisfactory local
cause for the extent OF the disease in the
hospital.
There is one phase of the situation in
this institution which has been common
in my experiences; here, as well as else
where, when the disease was finally rec
ognized the medical stan can recall that
the disease has been in the institution .or
many years and the superintendent told
me that now he realizes that he has lad
cases ever since the institution was open
ed, eight years ago"

RAIL HOLDINGS OF
HARTMAN INTACT

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-The will of E.
II. Hartman will be filed this week, ac-
coTding to Robert s. Lovett. who has been
elected chairman of the Union Pacific
executive committee, to succeed Mr.. Har-
riman in the administration of the vast
Hartman railroad interests.
Mr.. Lovett, who was believed to have
been closer to Mr.. Hartman than any
other man, would not discuss the con-
tents of the will. but said it had been
drawn by Charles A. Peabody, president
or the Mutual Life Insurance company,
and that 1t was in his possession. This
will, which is perhaps exciting more in
terest than any similar document in
many years, will probably be filed for
probate at Goshen. the county seat of
Orange county, which includes the large
Hartman estate at Arden. For legal
purposes a copy may be entered in the
courts in this city, where, 1t is. under
stood, the first announcements of the
Wills details may be made. 1t Is expect
ed that 1t will be filed Thursday.
Among Mr.. Harriman's intimate
friends, the belief prevailed that the
enormous Hartman railroads holdings
are not to be divided for a long period
and that the will creates a trust for
their administration, the income going to
the heirs. 1t is also said that while
the railroad and commercial interests Will
be held intact through trusteeship, the
will gives to Mrs. Hartman the mag
nihcent estate at Arden and also the town
house in Fifth avenue.
II these surmises are correct. and they
arc generally credited in Wall street,
many localities in various parts of the
country will rejoice. 1t will mean that
the plans for railroad development
which Mr. Hartman had under way will
be fully executed by the trustees of his
estate.
In acquiring a considerable interest in
the Erie railroad, it was commonly &C
cepted that Mr.. Hartman contemplated
a radical improvement in the system, par
ticularly in the suburban service. On
the strength of this belief property values
along the suburban lines adjacent to
New York and other large cities were
largely increased. This same is said to
be true of other railroads and transpor-
tation systems in which the financier was
interested and on which he had had no
time to execute any plans he may nave
formed for their Improvement
The states of New YORK anG New Jer-
sey are particularly interested in the
will, as it was only few months before
his death that Mr.. Hartman proposed
to donate about 5000 acres of land in the
northern part of New Jersey to public
park, his plan being to have the States
Of New York and New Jersey contribute
equal portions, thus creating an enor-
nous and magnificent play ground and
game and forest preserve within a short
ride of the metropolis.
Many charitable organizations are also
deeply interested in the contents of thu
will.
