Gaia RRHAL DEAFNESS
CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cum
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way
to cure catarrhal deafness, and
that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by
an inffamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, DEAFNESS is the
result. Unless the inflammation
can be reduced and this tube re
stored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever.
Many cases of deafness are caused
by catarrh, which is an infamed
condition of the mucous purfaces

WHERE Is TILE PEP. :

That the funds OF the local
branch of the Red Cross society
are running low and that the
pep" which characterized the
workers on the last drive for
subscriptions has ceased TO ef-
fervesce, is the charge made by
one who is anxious that Misha-
waka should retain its lead in
this important branch OF war
activity.
It is alleged that the execu-
tive committee has not had
meeting since previous TO the
last drive at Christmastide.
and that while the women, who
have contributed of their time
towards the success of the en-
terprise, are willing and anxious
TO continue doing so. there is
scarcely sufficient money on
hand to provide them with the
necessary goods required for the
work.
AS there will be other cam
paigns OF a similar nature in
Mishawaka, and as much pub
licity work will have to be done
in order TO assure their success,
no time should be lost in calling
the committee together and get
ting down to business.
