Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they can not
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inf1amed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit. and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by Catarrh. which is moth
f. g but an inflaned condition Of the
i.ucous surfaces.

for any case of Deafness Caused by

The Presidents assurance of econ

containing the promise Of conservative
treatment of these same matters in
the extended recommendations regard

But the Irish party is threatened with
grave danger. Against it are arrayed
great and wealthy interests and the
Unionists have declared their intention
of naming candidates in every constitu-

of exhausting the party's funds. This
