Saulte Ste. Marie, Ont-From all

inquiry are pouring in regarding the
case of Angelina Neopolitana, who is

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. Deaf
ness 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 hear
ing, and when il is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its 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.

any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)

killed by an Italian at Boomer in fight

tended the funeral, together with their
aged parents. Uncle Dyke Garrett, a

the funeral service. The mother, who
has long been member OF the church,
made ar earnest plea to her boys to take
warning, and as they saw the open graves
their hearts melted, and they all stepped

reioiced over their conversion.
