Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion oil
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition
of the lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it
is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed foreve-
nine cases out OF ten ri caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inilamed condition OF the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness(eaus-
ed by catarrh) that cannot be cnrel

Two days after u arrival, we read
the announcement Of the marriage, at
ST. Georges, Hanover Square, OF Sir
Thomas Vernon to Lady Arabella Stor-

Sir Peter was delighted at this
match, and so was Lady Hawkshaw,
and for once they were agreed. The
position OF the Snewly-married couple
in London was anything but a pleasant
one; for Giles became the object Of
public sympathy, and Of popular and
royal approval. The prince of Wales

was made a triumph for us. Sir
Thomas and Lady Vernon we're for

I saw them myself at Drury Lane,
when they were Kissed. Sir Thomas
merely grinned, while Lady Arabella
surveyed the scowling faces before her
with a slow sweet smile, and calmly
played with the diamonds in her
stomacher.
We had a whole year Of happiness.
The dreadful experience Giles had
been through began to tell OF him,
and he was permitted to remain quiet
ly u year on shore. And l, because Of
Giles, was given a year with my bride
before l had to leave her. And what
a year OF ~blessedness It was to all!
We all lived with Sir Peter and Lady
Hawkshaw In Berkeley Square, and
those two honest souls took delight In
us. Lady Hawkshaw became a hero
