bv local applications. as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure catarrhal deafness. and that is by
a constit otiopal remedy. Catarrhal Deafness
is caused by sn ipfamed condition of the mu-

tube is ipfsmed you have rumbilng sound Or

umation can be reduced and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition. hearing will be

everybody In Philadelphia, twenty
miles away, felt It. and surrounding
towns in New Jersey reported shat
tered windows and other I'll effects of
the impact Consequently tho news
that there had not been q great dis
aster came as a relief.
Ever since the war began the pow

apprehension TO the public and the
people become excited whenever a re-
port is heard or felt from the Down

Of pounds OF explosives are being
turned out for the armies.
