accurate description, for. like an enemy, IL

Violet in all its different varieties is also
a color to be approached warily. To some It
has an unpleasant tendency to transmit q
mauve shade to the skin OF the wearer, turn

purple blotches.
Pink in its palest shades is eninently pitt

affirmed that not more than three women in
every hundred could successfully wear pink.
On looking round a crowded ballroom his
statement Is fully verified
The primitive rule that brunettes should
adhere TO warm, rich colors, and that their
fair haired sisters should appear IN soft, pale
dnts has been responsible for and sxempfI-

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 inflamed con.
dition of the mucous lining of the Eusta
chian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have 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 its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh.
which is nothing but an inflamed condi-
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
