Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflameo condi-
tion Of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a runbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result and unless the in
Illumination 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 inf1amed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case Of

OLD GLORY
Rah EaE1Ea FaEaFEFEaFlEa

What precious associations cluster
around our flagl Not alone have our
fathers set UP this banner in the name
of God over the %cll won battlefelds
of the Revolution and over the cities
ana towns which they rescued from
despotic rule, but think where also
their descendants have carried it and
raised it in conquest or protectionl
Through what clouds Of dust and
smoke has it passed, what storms of
shot and shell, what scenes Of fire and
blood-not only at Saratoga, at Mon
mouth and at Yorktown. but at Lun-
dy's Lane and New Orleans, at Buena
Vista and Chapultepec! 1t is the Same
glorious old flag which, inscribed with
the dying words of Lawrence, Don't
give up the ship" was hoisted on Lake
Erie by Commodore Perry just on the
eve of his great naval victory; the same
old flag which our great chieftain bore
in triumph to the proud city Of the
Aztecs and planted upon the heights
Of her national palace. Brave hands
raised it above the eternal regions Of
ice In the Arctic seas and have set it
up on the submits of the lofty noun
tains of the distant west.
Where has it not gone, the pride Of
its friends and the terror Of its foes ?
What countries and what seas has it
not visited? Where has not the Amer
lean citizen been able to stand beneath
It's guardian folds and defy the world?
With what joy and cXutation seamen
and tourists have gazed upon its stars
and stripes, read in it the history Of
their nations glory, received from it
the full sense Of security and drawn
from it the inspirations of patriotism!
By It how many have sworn fealty to
their country!
What bursts of magnificent elOquence
It has called forth from Webster and
from Everett, what lyric strains Of
poetry from Drake and Holmes! How
many heroes its folds have covered in
death. How many have lived for it,
and how many have died for it! How
many, living and dying, have said In
their enthusiastic devotion to its hon
or, like that young wounded sufferer
In the streets of Baltimore, "Oh, the
dag-the stars and stripes" And wher-
ever that flag has gone it has been the
herald of a better day; it has been the
pledge of freedom. of justice, Of order,
OF civilization and of Christianity. Ty-
rants only have hated It, and the enc
mics of mankind alone have trampled
it to the earth. All who sigh for the
triumph of truth and righteousness love
and salute it.-Rev. Albert Il. Putnam.
