they would compare with the fighters

pugilism who did not see the men OF
former days fight, say that the pres

were considered fans fifteen years

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin

this tube is inflamed you have a
ruNbling sound or imperfect hearing,
anu when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flamation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
