Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarrh-
al deafness, and that is by chnstitu-
tional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have rumbling sound or inn
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the inflammation can be reduced
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be DESTROYED
forevever. Many cases of deafness
are caused by cattarrh, which is an
inf1amed condition of the mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cnre acts
through the blood on the mucuous
surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

places throughout the state, resulting
in the conversion of a large number
Of people to the advent faith. Mr..
MacLay reviewed the work of the
dlderent departments of the organized
conference work, showing a healthy
growth in each. The report shows
$50, 10000 worth of religious literal
ture sold, and large amount dis
tributed free. A commendable &C
-tivity has been manifest among the

The Adventist people claim to stand /
Tor the principles of the separation of |
church and state as expressed in the |

terpret this very literally. In educa-
lion they maintain a system of separ-
ate schools supported by private SUBJ

emles are maintained in Kansas,
one at Oswego, and the other at
