Resolutions on the Death of Mrs
Susan James.

Whereas, An all wise and loving
Father has removed our friend and sister
and mother from all suffering and
pain,
Res olved, That it is with sorrow we
lay her away but we rejoice that she is
free and at rest. Our loss is her great
gain.
For more than sixty years she has
been faithful member of the Congre.
gational church, on Wey bridge Hill,
an earnest worker in the Ladies' Aid and
Missionary society, being one of the
charter members. A fitting example in
the home, always welcoming her friends.
We shall miss her friendship, her kindly
advice, her hospitality and gentle
courtesy.
We extend to her family our sympathy
and recommend to all her friends, her
example of patient fidelity to every good
cause.

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 condi.
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is inhamed
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 infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
