Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion II the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deafness.
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed condi-
ton Of the mucous lining Of the Eusta:
chan Tube. When this tube ia inflamed
you have q rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when It Is entirely closed.
6ammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine

II the Tigers get into the world

country as one OF the greatest clubs
OF recent years. While the Junga-
leers have never his up TO their

II is reasonable TO presume that they
will in this. and their base running
Is plenty good enough TO make the

Messrs Witt. Bush and Young ever

them undivided attention. they are
going to be hailed as the greatest

been remarkable fielder. Young
has established himself the peer OF
all keystone guardians this season
in the matter OF covering ground
and choking of base hits. Recent.
