There is only one way to cure catar-
rhal deafness, and that is BY a consu-
tutional remedy. Catarrhal deafness
is caused by an indamed condition
Of the mucOuus lining OF the eustach-
ian tube. When this tube is inaamed
you have a rumbling sound or inper-
lect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result. Unless
the Inflammation can be reduced and
this tube restored 10 its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever.
Many cases Of deafness are caused by
catarrh, which is an infiamed condi-
ton OF the mucous surfaces. Halls
catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood

Newport. Naturally. with such seri-

OF Newport has changed completely.
And the cause for this change was
the visit Of the "U-53." The people Of
Newport had to house and care for
the victims Of this merciless raider
OF the seas. They were. however, not
prepared for this sort of thing, and
on realizing it they built up. without
