Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucus lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Ca,
tarrh, which is nothing but an in
flammed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

other piece of Slavonic land taken
away from its rightful owners. How
ever, they see that Austria is doing
now for her new provinces what
France did for Daimatia a century
ago, and there is u feeling of jeal-
ousy creeping into their discomfort.
1t Is fact that Austria no more
exerts herself in Dalmatia, II she ever
did. Her hold upon the land is Sc
cure, sanctioned by time. whereas in
the two countries further north she
still feels that she must justify her
high-handed appropriation. Further
more there is natural wealth to be
exploited in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
while Dalmatia has nothing but a
little pasture land and long, dented
coast.
At the mouth of the River Narenta
lies Netkowitz, the port whence the
bodies of the Archduke Francis F'erdi-
nand and the Duchess of Hohenberg
were taken to Trieste on board a
warship. The little town is In the
center of a most unhealthy district
and it derives it's only Importance
from the fact that the Bosnia railway
runs down and ends here. The stretch
of land between Netkowitz and Ra-
gusa, to the southeast, is the strang-
est Of the many curious spots in
these provinces. 1t is perfect DESC
latlon-rocks and rocks, nothing but
rocks. with gray sky above.
But when Ragusa appears against
the horizon. the desert vanishes, yield
ing to that luxurious semi-tropical
vegetation upon which the ancient city
lies as jewel on bed of velvet.
Such are the contrasts that startle
the traveller everywhere in those Bal
kan provinces of Austria. 1t is an ex-
traordinary interesting land, and full
of great possibilities if peace can be
held. Austria is doing what her judg-
ment tells her is the best. She may
yet reap incalculable reward for her
efforts.

For Gregg has turned to challenge War,
The eager, flashing face,
Where valor's deep and serried lines
Leave doubt no lurking place
Though bough and bush and tutted
grass.
Reach hungry hands TO claim
The unrecked toll that warriors pay
Who tread the paths Of Fame.
Swift as the Falcons downward
swCop.
Sure as the Glaciers flow.
They break from Deaths opposing
grasp
To greet that shaken foe.
Behind them faints a stricken South
And waves proud appeal
As from the rim Of every sky
Expectant vultures wheel;
Beside them march the mighty shades
OF comrades long since slain,
Who leave ValhaIla's bending lords
To charge with them again
Before them flies in new dismay
a pale and shriekinE host
OF fOemen dead when former fields
Struck dumb the Northern boast
The North gives way before their
charge
As in the Seas Of Snow.
Before the iceberg's sure advance
Gives way the rended foe
And once again that cOnQuerinE cheer
Dumbs battles thunder tone.
And Southern banners wave at Eve
Where Morning saw them shown
