DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications. as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF the
ear There is only one way to cure
deafness an dthat is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition OF the mu-
cous lining of the EustachIn tube
When this tube Is inflamed, you
have rumbllng sound or imperfect
hearing and when II is entirely clos
ed, deafness Is the result and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition fthe mu-
cous surfaces.

casual remark in the writings, that

something definite would have been
said, so we take it for granted that

likely to injure the industrial pros

Without consulting with others,
appealed directly to those represent
ing opposing political factions in the
coming city election Considering
solely the industrial welfare OF the
city, | asked Mr.. Lotion If he could
not see his way clear to withdraw his
candidacy at this time.
After consideration he consented
to withdraw upon certain conditions,
one of which was that Mr. Elder would
also withdraw his candidacy To this
Mr.. Elder agreed, providing Mr.. Lotion
would in fact withdraw.
The situation thus cleared, it be-
came necessary to search for a new
candidate which would be agreeable
as near as possible to all the citizens
and business interests.
mfr. John A. Dunlap seemed to be
such candidate, and though decided
lly opposed to becoming a candidate,
consented, after earnest solicitation.
to do so in event the other candidates
withdrew.
"As March / was the last day for
filing his nomination papers, they were
hastily prepared and filed Later it
/ has been discovered that there is
legal objection to this plan, as the
law has made no provision for the
withdrawal of nominations prior to
! the primaries.
This forestalls this solution Of the
situation and leaves Mr.. Lotion and
Mr.. Elder as candidates, while Mr..
Dunlaps name will also appear among
! the list Of nominations, although I'm.
der conditions which he did not con-
template at the time his papers were
| filed What action he may take do
not know, but | feel that l have done
what | could to avoid bitter political
strife which under existing conditions
cannot fail to embarass our industrial
development.
/ II have acted in this matter as a
citizen. and not as an officer of the
Industrial Association, the matter not
being brought before the directors or
executive committee.
Il admire the way in which both
Mr.. Lotion and Mr.. Elder met me and
their Willingness TO sacrifice their
personal interests for what / at the
time thought was the public's inter
