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 ap
inhaned condition of the mucous lin
ing of the austachian tube When this
tube is infiamed you have a 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

our street corners and lounging
around these saloons, would convince
any unprejudice mind that our man
hood is rapidly deteriorating.
Every loyal American is bound to
look upon this decadence as deplor-
able condition. They tell US that there
is more whiszey sold in dry states
than in any others" If this is true,
why does the whiskey trust spend so
much money to keep these states from
going dry?
who laughs best, laughs last" is
a well-worn proverb, and even Mr..
Hobson may yet see a realization of
his iridescent dream.
Ever since we were able to study
this perplexed problem, we have con-
tended that if it is wrong to sell
whiskey the payment of high license
has never yet made it right. Now,
just as an illustration, here in Florida
in this business that they tell US is
just as legitimate as any other, we
force the saloonkeeper to pay IL
cense of about fifteen hundred dol
lars-$50O each to the state, county,
and city. This isn't in that. spirit of
Equal and Exact Justice to All" we
have so long been taught to respect.
If bar-room is good thing for a
county or city, we hold that it is an
unjust discrimination against its pro-
prietor to force him to pay any lar
ger license than any other "mer-
chant"
The trouble with the temperance
people of this state, is that they i'm
port lot of sky pilots who "tear the
azure robes of night, and set the stars
of Glory there" for the Revenue
Only" when they can solve the prob
lem far easier and better for them
selves. and the cause they espouse.
Here is the solution.
Let the state of Florida alone i'm
pose a license tax of fifteen hundred
dollars and use it for its school fund
or any other state purpose.
The legislature can pass a revenue
bill to this effect, and if it will, there
isn't a city in the state that will vote
for saloons when thus deprived of the
corruption fund for which this money
is levied.
Our own people can do this if they
only will and want to.
Here in Jacksonville, we have
about One Hundred and Thirty-F'ive
saloons annually paying to the city
and county One Thousand Dollars
each for the privilege of selling whis.
key.
This $4,000 additional tax upor
our property owners would cause most
all of. them to "stand up and take
notice" and in consequence, woulc
cause them to vote "dry." And il
would be the case in st. Augustine
Key West, Tampa, Fernandina, Pensa
cola or any other city where whis
key is sold.
So far as we are personally con
cerned we would like to see the en-
tire United States revenue tax takel
off of whiskey. Our ancestors rails
ed better sons and more useful citi
zens than these of the present gener
alton. There was no such tax il
their days. Better whiskey coul,
then be bought for fifty cents a gal
lon than is now sold for eight dol
lars.
