Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application as they cannot reach the dis
eased portion of the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
ditcns of the mucous lining Of the Eusiachian
Tube. When this tube is infamed you have q
rumblng sound or imperfect hearing. and when it
is entirely closed Deafness is the result and un-
less the Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition. hearing will
be destroyed forever: nine ca>es of every ten are
caused by Catarrh which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surface.

In 1868 another effort was made to

through puddle clay down TO depth

several pieces of wood from 120 to
126 feet.
They started another hole and
struck iron at 126 feet. They struck
this iron on the edge am 1t prevent

small chisel and succeeded in pass

struck what they thought to be lime

They put a common auger at the end
of the rods and bored through the
wood When the auger went through
the wood it dipped two or three inch
es and then struck something hard
that they could not bore through. The
auger was worked for some time in
an attemrt to get it deeper, but il
would not go down, and when brought
up the bore was cleaned in a basin
and the dirt washed out the same as

A piece Of parchment with several
pieces of wood was the result of this

mel to expore and had gone but a
short distance when they discovered
a large pit about eight feet square
and open as far as they could see.
The pit was opened up and at thirty
eight feet a platform was struck.
The pit from this depth was open
and well cribbed down to depth Of
l0S feet. The workers at once pump
after a great deal of work and time
ging, but had a great deal of trouble
the 113 feet was at last struck. AT
this depth the water became very
heavy and the pumps had all they
could do to keep II out. The pit was
eight feet square.
At this time one of the pumps went
wrong and before she could be re-
paired the pit filled up with water.
1t was then decided that pumping and
sinking in the same pit was out of
the question, and II was concluded

through this and found 1t three feet
thick. Under this they found ten
feet of puddle clay, and at 10 feet
they struck iron, pieces of which
they brought up. but they did not at
tempt to get through it.
After they gave up the boring they
decided that the best plan was to
sink another pit. A pit was accord
ingly started, but at 10S feet the
water drove them out. Starting a
new pit was cheaper than pumping.
so again new pit was started, but
much further away from the money
pit" This was sunk to a depth of
100 feet, and IL 1t had not been for
the i'll luck that always followed them
at Oak Island the mystery would
have been solved. At 160 feet, with
out a moments warning, with great
rush the water once more broke in.
The money pit" at once began to
fill and circumstances at once show
ed that there was perfect connec-
ton between the two pits. This was
just what was wanted, although not
quite deep enough. They at once
tore the cribbing and everything else
to pieces. Upon close examination 1t
showed that no vent had been made
for the water on the down stroke of
the piston, and it took them more
than a week to fix this mistake and
get the pumps running again.
In the meantime the pit had been
standing full of water, with the crib
bling in a damaged condition. The
water worked into the tunnel at a 90
foot level and it caved in.
That was the end of the venture.
Since that time three pits have been
sunk. but they have all proved fail
