Hydrophobia In the County.

William M. Burns lost hog weighing
nearly 200 pounds last week, from hydro
phobia. The hog was bitten about two
weeks ago by mad dog, which on the
same day attacked Littleton Brown, who
lives on Mr.. Burns place. The man
defended himself with club. The hog
that had been bitten attacked several
other hogs on the place, and Mr.. Burns
expects hydrophobia to develop in them
at any time.-Adv0cate.
Last Saturday one ofMr. Burns's horses
was found TO be suffering from hydro
phobla, and as there is positively no hope
OF recovery when once the disease ap-
pears, it had to be shot and killed.
Several other horses were bitten and will
be watched for developments. The
State Board of Agriculture, through Or.
w. M. Stanley, State Veterinarian for
this county, has established quarantine
against dogs running at large within five
miles OF the injected area.

toxicated that he was unable to take care
OF himself. Mrs. Keith and her two
daughters, Sadie, aged IA years, and
Ethel. aged 10, tried to get the young
man home, but he was too drunk to be
managed. He persisted in lying down
along the edge otthe canal, and apparent
ly was IN Stupor when he fell upon the
ground. While his two sisters watched
by his side, Mrs. Keith began to gather
wood to build fire. II was during the
absence OF the mother that Keith rose
and fell backward into the canal. The
mother ran to the side of the canal, and
seeing her son sinking, jumped into the
water, which is ten feet deep at that spot
Both disappeared after a brief struggle
and the terrified girls screamed for help,
II was almost midnight when the Tragedy
occurred, but little crowd soon gathered

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Curet

Catarrhal DEAFNESS Sanhot DC
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear:
There is only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition OF the mucous
lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inilamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when II
is entirely closed, Deafness is the result;
Unless the inflammation can be reduced
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever
Many cases of deafness are caused by
catafrh, which is an intlamed condition
OF the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrf
Medicine acts thru the blood on the mu-
cous surfaces OF the system.
