A petition was received from GER
tain residents of Brown street, pray
ing that the work Of paving Brown
street with concrete be deferred until
some future time. At the last meeting
Of the council a petition was received

owners along Brown street, asking
that the street be paved with concrete
under the same rules as have been fol-
lowed in the paving of Lee, Taylor and

Dcafness cannot he Cured

by local applications. as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
inhamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result. and unless the in
fiammation 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
Catarrh. which is nothing but an in
