DEAFNESS CANNOT Be CURED


by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness. s.
that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed condition of
the mucous lining of theEustacheon tub=.
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 the inflammation can be
taken ont and this tube restored to it's
normal condition hearing will be destroyd
forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh which is nothing but an in
famed condition OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give $4,000 for any case of deaf
ness Caused by Catarrh) that cannot be

End Of Bomb Plots.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.--The DEPART
ment Of Justice believes that the back
bone Of bomb consplracies has been
broken with the arrest OF Paul koenig
and the fist OF his alleged conspirators
at New York.
Chief Bielaski Of the Departments
bureau OF investigation returned TO-DAY
from New York. The work OF arresting
the other alleged accompl'ces has beer
left In the hands OF the New York po-
lice and the Department agents there.
Arrests are expected OF all the alleged
agents named in the lists taken from,
KOenig.
koenig Is regarded by the Depart
ment AS the master conspirator In this
country, The fact that the Department
was able to break up the vast organi.
cation he conducted has encouraged ON
cials to believe that the heart Of the
conspiracy has been reached The case
Is regarded by the Department as toe
most important In the series.
While further arrests In connection
with the disclosures relating TO Paul
Koen'g and his associates are certain, Il
is not expected that these will be as
as reported. II Is said there
Is in the Department evidence tending
to show that Koenig and his associates
were involved In many plans other than
that TO destroy the Weiland Canal.
