DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only n way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inaamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is iRhamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result. and unless the in
aammation can beftaken out and this
lube restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
damed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
.catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Catarrh Cure. Send for circu.

AN APPEAL TO
FAIR EXHIBITORS

The directors of the Fair have done
everything in their power to make this
years Fair a success. They have doub-
led the premiums on all farm and gar
den produce, on Fruit, and all stock ex
hibits, and have added third prize to
all classes of stock. They have also
the finest list Of entries for the races
that was ever given in this entire west
ern country. Having as many as 36
will be numerous other attraction in
the amusement line. They have secured
the celebrated Gate City Band of Poca-
tello to furnish the music at the Fair
and Oh the streets Of Blackfoot and for
free dancing every evening.
Notwithstanding all that the direct
ors have done, the fair will not and can
not be a success unless you, (the farm
ers of Bingham county,, will furnish
the exhibits to show the people what
is produced in this county.
We are having daily from ten to
twenty automobile parties from every
section of the United States going thru
Blac foot to the Yellowstone Park and
other points. Some Of these parties will
be here during the fair and we want
to show them what we are producing &
in this county and valley, that they
may advise their friends and advertise
oru section Of Idaho.
We ask that all of the citizens of
Bingham county get their best exhibits
of any and all kinds aud to bring them
to the fair. If you cannot bring them
advise the secretary and he will try to
make arrangements to have them at the
fair. If YOU are near railroad station
ship them to the secretary and he will
pay the freight. ~---"'-'
Make an unusual effort to get us thc
exhibits, and assist in making your fai!
a bigger and better success than evcl
before and show the visitors that W.
produce a little larger, better and fine
crops than is grown in amp country.
