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 Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have 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 de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inhamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM.
Il 10 An Internal Disease And Requires
An Internal Remedy.

The cause Of Rheumatism and kindred
diseases is an excess Of uric acid in the
blood. To cure this terrible disease this
acid must be expelled and the system so
regulated that no more acid will be FORM
ed in excessive quantities Rheumatism
is an internal disease and requires an
internal remedy. Rubbing with Oils and
Liniments will not cure, affords only
temporary relief at best, causes you to
delay the proper treatment, and allows
the malady to get firmer hold on you.
Liniments may ease the pain, but they
will no more cure Rheumatism than
paint will change the fibre of rotten
wood
Science has at last discovered per-
feet and complete cure, which is called
"Rheumacide. Tested in hundreds Of
cases, it has effected the most marvellous
cures; we believe it will cure you. Rheu-
macide "gets at the joints from the in
side," sweeps the poisons out of the
system, tones up the stomach, regulates
the liver and kidneys and makes you
we'll all over. Rheumacide 'strikes the
root of the disease and removes its
cause" This splendid remedy is sold

Memphis, Tenn, May 4.-The latest
reports from the storm-swept districts
in the South place the number of dead
at 200 and the number of injured at,
over 700. Complete statistics will
probably show a death list of $50,
with nearly 1000 persons injured. At
least forty towns have been devas-

to many million dollars.
Some sections in the pathway of the
storm have not yet been heard from,
