Deafness Cannot Be Cared

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear,
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is only by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chin Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have rnmbling sound Of imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
flamation 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 Catarrl, which is
nothing but inhamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for

Hope for England in ireland

= GENERATIONS of English muddling III
~ Ireland have at last been punctuated, so
TO speak, by a sensible action. Licutcnant-
General Sir Brian Mahon has been appointed
commander of all the British forces in Ire
land. This means that an freshman of pure
blood is in military omman OF the unhappy
island, whose outbursts OF disaiicction have
been due almos, entirely to the stupidity Of
the British government. civil and military.
General Mahon's appointment will be par
iicularly grateful 10 the Irish people because
he led an all-lrish division with the utmost
gallantry in the Inflated G~allipoli campaign.
he succeeds Ma jor-General Sir John
Maxwell. under whose command the recent
Irish rebellion was so ruthlessly suppressed
as TO arouse bitter. criticism even in Eng
land. The assignment of General Mahon TO
Ireland supplies reason TO hope that the
present war will lead England to deal with
Ireland as intelligently as the Boer War
forced it 10 handle South African affairs.
