DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only n way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Enstachian Tube. When the
tube is inflamed 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 restored to
it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

Millions OF dollars have been spent,
much suffering relieved. and sorrow
| in thousands of families of veterans
averted by the patriotic members OF
the famous Woman's Relief corps.
Mary A Dow, president of the Poto-
mac corps, speaking of this great Or
der, its objects and work, says:
The Woman's Relief corps is an or
ganization which works quietly and
without Ostentation; therefore the good
work being accomplished by it is not
wholly appreciated by the public.
While the following gives a brief out
line. it cannot give even an idea of the
kind and loving services rendered by
members who devote time and money
going as sisters of mercy to soothe
the sick and dying. comfort the sor-
rowing, and assist and encourage the
unfortunate.
In 1883 the society was organized
in Denver, Colo, with a membership
of SIS and only few dollars in the
treasury. and was accepted by vote
of the national encampment as the
auxiliary of the Grand Army of the
Republic. The work of assisting the
posts and organizing departments was
started at once. and has steadily aG,

ton in the world, with a membership
