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
condition of the mucous lining of .the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when it is en-
tirely closed. Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
Mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

catarrh) that cannot be cured.by Halls

had been successful in making a youth
of IS grow seven inches in six months.
The boy is the son of a friend of DR..
Gibson and was anxious to get into
military school. To do this it was
necessary for him to accomplish the
seemingly impossible feat of growing
four inches in six months.
An appeal was made to DR. Gibson,
who through the employment of a ty-
phoid extract, a potent substance in
fluencing blood distribution and nutri-
tive possibilities in the most powerful
way, worked the miracle of stretching
the yOungster from a height of four
feet. eleven inches. to five feet six
inches in the specified period. The fact
that the boy obtained one of the high

to the academy proves DR.. Gibson's as

EFT He battle of Camden, fought 1872
years ago today-August 16,
registered the low water
mark of the American struggle for in
dependence It was the nadir of our
woe. the uttermost depth of our hui
initiation and despair.
A forlorn time for our patriot fore
fathers. was that summer of 1859. The
their own way. GeOrgia was overrun,
Charleston was in their hands. and it
looked as though the entire south was
forever gone from us
1t was not without much show Of
Justification that the celebrated Horace
WalpOle about this time wrote: I'VE
look on America as at our feet"
Such was the miserable situation
when Cen HoratiO Gates, recently COM
missioned as cOmmanderinchief of the
forces for the south, began his cam
paign for the reclamation of South
Carolina and Georgia. Washington,
with unerring instinct, scented danger
in the appointment OF Gates, opposed
il, and advocated the selection Of
Nathaniel Greene, but not even WASH
ingtOn was able always to control the
politicians, and Gates was put in COM
mand.
From Hiilsboro, y. c., Gates. began
his march for Camden, S e. once in
possession Of that point he could force
the British from their other inland po-
sitions and throw them upon the de-
fensive at Charleston
The American army, as it stood ready
for action before Camden on the fatal
10th of August, numbered 1852 men.
400 regulars and the rest mostly raw
militia. Facing the Americans was
force of 1000 thoroughly trained SOL
diers under command of Lords Raw
don and CORVALLIS.
The Maryland line" which cOnsti-
tuted most of the regular force on
our side, fought with their accustomed
bravery, but through the incompetency
of Gates and the folly of entrusting i'm
pOrtant position TO raw militia, the day
closed with sucn gloom as had never
before settled down upon an American
army.
It was more than defeat, it was an
appalling disaster. the American loss
being 1000 in killed and wounded, 1000
captured. with 1000 small arms and
seven pieces of artillery. Off against
this was the insignificant British loss
of 334 in killed and wounded.
It was the most stunning defeat OF
the war, and to this day it remains the
most humiliating event in American
annals.
The political general Gates, whose
foOlishness and stubbornness had
brought on the disaster. ran away
from the field as fast as thoroughbred
steeds could take him. There was no
rapid transit" in those days and yet
there was nothing slow in Gates
fight of 200 miles from Camden back
to HillSbOro. which was accomplished
in a little more than three days.
Off against the disgracefUl flight of
Gates stands the heroiSm of the Baron
de Kalb, who long after the battle had
been lost in every other quarter, was
