Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

the diseased portion of the ear. There
Is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that Is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is
tnfiamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness Is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which Is
an fnfamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Cure acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Circulars

CHANGES MADE IN
LIVE STOCK RATES

Washington, D. c., July 20. New
rates and regulations regarding trans
portation of pedigreed live stock were
prescribed today by the interstate COM
merce commission in decision Of the
complaint of the Society Of Record as
ISOLATION, representing 100000 fancy
stock breeders against practically all
the railroads Of the country.
Minimum weights were fixed for the
computation Of freight rates on cattle,
sheep and swine and it was ordered
that the liability of carriers should be
on the following basis:
Horse or mule $3.50; colt, OK or bull
SIS; cow $50; calf $40; hog SIS; sheep
or goat IS. In the case Of shippers de-
string to declare higher values, the
commission held, railroads are justifi-
ed in charging an additional two per
cent on the rate for each so per cent
or fraction above the standard value.
Higher charges for Grated stock
than for uncrated and rules requiring
shippers to furnish attendants were
found unreasonable and ordered dis
