DEAFNESS Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the dis

cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an iniamed condition OF the

tube Is infamed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
petfect hearing. and when It Is entirely closed, Deaf

rings that at a reception she will
often excuse herself for a minute,
take her twenty or so rings from

an entirely different set. This may
be perfectly proper for a queen, who
sets her own fashions; but even in
much milder form excessive ring
wearing is not in good taste for
more common mortals. Four or. five
on the two hands is all that ought
possibly to be allowed: and these
should not be worn on the middle
finger or the thumb. 1t has lately
