Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, az they cannot
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 inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inhamed you have rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result. Unless the Inflammation
can be reduced and this tube restored 10
its normal condition, hearing will be
DESTROYED forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an inhamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts
thru the blood on the mucous surfaces
Of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrh Deafness that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Med
icine. Circulars free. All Druggists.

"Airplanes, carrying a hundred men
and equipped with engines equal in
power TO those in a medium sized
steamship, will be developed within
three years." said Gianni Caproni, in
ventor of the Caproni bombing planes,
in an interview. "The bombing planes
now in use," Signor Caproni continued,
twill be mere dwarfs compared with
those TO be developed. There is sur
prise in store for the Germans. In
stead of the forty and Fifty machines
necessary to start on a bombing eXpe-
dition, it will be possible to do the same
work with a new machine as powerful
as the whole squadron"

anthracite coal to points in the Eastern

therefore necessary to advise you that
no notifications can be made on the
embargo on shipments to West Vir-
gnia, particularly as to Berkeley and
Jefferson counties.
Very truly yours,
