Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portions OF the
ear. There Is only one way to cure
deafness, and that Is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness Is caus-
ed by an innamed condition Of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
tube. When this tube Is inllaned
you have q rumblins sound or inn
perfect hearing, and when 1t Is en-
tirely closed, deafness Is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
It's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an inhomed condi.
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of deafness (caus-
ed by catarrh) that cannot be cur
ed by Halls C0tarrh Cure, Send

Gentlemen-Replyi-'g to yours of the
1912, will say that the silo that you
erected for me last year is satisfac-
tory to me in every respect. In re-
gard to freezing: I don't think it
will freeze any more than any ether
single wall silo-maybe not as much,
and the frosted comes off the wall
easily. l think that if I had a can
vas cover to spread over it it would
not freeze any to speak of. And for
keeping the ensilage it could not be
any better; it is just as green near the
wall as in the center-not a blade
spoiled.

you a very satisfactory answer, as I
have been confined to the house for

AS near as l can find out from the

froze in about three inches. around
the sides, previous to January list, and
10 or IL inches since the. 80. to 40 be-
low zero weather set in, which you
know has continued now for eleven
days. 1 have no opportunity to COM
pare it with other silos, but have
heard they are not doing any better
than mine. AS to price, mine is
cheaper than the first grade Stave,

am we'll pleased with my silo. These
days-1st part of January-are very
cold and the silage around the edges
will freeze from 6 to IL inches but if
the edges are kept lower than the
center that will help some. In COM

it is the best investment farmer
