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 inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t 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 inhamed condition Of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

The returns have been gathered from

disgrace to the community which toll
crates its continuance. yet the citizens
Of Connecticut stand meeIly by and
let a political boss remark. Well, what
In h---l are you going TO do about it?'
The contract system is discredited
universally. but in no other state in
the union has 1t sunk to as low an ebp
as in Connecticut. Were 1t an advan-
tage to the citizens OF the state as a
whole or TO the taxpayers there might
be justification in the eyes of some
but even here IL falls short. The New
Haven jail seeks to get work out Of it's
convicts, not by giving them the in
centive of a wage, but by physical pun
ishment. At the state prison at Weth-
ersfield the men work on shirts and
shoes: few are trained to earn their
livelihood when released. The insti-
tuition is heavy drain on the taxpay-
ers under the contract system; It
yields immense profits to the well
known prison labor trust. Since the
installation of the contract system,
the institution has never gotten back
to its original basis Of educational
work for the prisoner and self-sup-
port for itself"

prison was invited to the club, which

sional, business and labor people
among its members, to state his case,
