TRY THIS FOR NEURALGIA

Thousands of people keep on suffer
ing with neuralgia because they do
not know what to do for it. Neuralgia
is a pain In the nerves. What you want
to do is to soothe the nerve itself.
Apply Sloan's Liniment to the sur
face over the painful part-do not rub
and allays the inflammation. Get a
bottle of Sloan's Liniment for Is
cents of any druggist and have it in
the house-against colds, sore and
swollen joints, lumbago, sciatica and
like ailments. Your money back if
not satisfied, but it does give almost
instant relief. m

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
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the austachian tube. When this
tube is infamed you have q rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness
is the result, and unless this tube be
restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces. We will give one hundred dol
lars for any case of deafness (caused
by catarrh) that cannot be cured by
