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 condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when il is entirely 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 nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

In a report made by Senator Lodge on
the Aldrich tariff, he admits that prices
have really advanced, but he blameS it on
the farmers. He charges them with put
ting up the prices, and says that the poor
manufacturers have nothing to do with
ii nor is the tariff responsible. We sup
pose that everybody ought to be satisfied
with this statement of Senator Lodge,
who would never tell lie just for polit-
ical reasons, but we admit that we would
like to have had further explanation.
For instance, we cannot understand
Just how the farmer has put up the price
of paper to such an outrageous figure;
nor why he should have increased the
cost of clothing and shoes; or all manu-
features OF iron and glass and metal; or
Row he has sent lumber soaring to the
skies. If the farmer has done all this
well, we are just going to tell him about
it next time he comes into our office.
