Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by iocel applications. as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear There Is only one
way to cure deafness. and that is by constitu-
tlonal remedies. Deafness Is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube When this tube is intiamed
you have rubbing sound or imperfect hear
ing, aud when it is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can BE-
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition; hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send

taught by the inmates. Evening en-
tertalnments and lectures are deliv-
cred in the chapel, and the output of
the industrial department has shown
a further marked increase. this being
especially due to the appointment by
Warden Osborne of a man who has Il

man has made the office OF superln-

The reforms introduced in Sing Sing
by Warden Osborne have not en-
croached on the freedom Of the Off
GERS. They have received as much
consideration as the prisoners in the
matter Of reform. for they, too. require
better conditions. With this end In

But the greatest reform introduced
by Warden Osborne seems to he that
of permitting the inmates to take over
