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 inHamed 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 it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

tarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall S

in San francisco.
1t is reported that the Pacific Gas and
Electric Company are considering the
matter of putting in meters for the
measurement of electricity used by all
consumers, whether of light or power.
This would reduce the cost of light to
some; and would tend to stop the waste
from allowing lights to burn during the
hours of daylight, the parties not taking
the trouble to turn them off, as under
the flat rate system it makes no differ
ence in the bill whether they burn one
hour or "a hours. The meter system
will serve to correct this evil.
There was big leak in the main

ger, and hanging it under the Anador
Dispatch, in front of the Dispatch office.
