Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by 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 constitutional remedy.
HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts

caused by an infiamed condition of the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have
rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing. and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re-
dueed and this tube restored to it's nor

forever. Many case of Deafness are
caused by Catarrh, which is an inf1amed
condition of the Mucous Surfaces.

HAS NOT INCREASED ARMY.
German Government Says It Is Reduc-
ing Army According to Stipulations.

BERLIN, Dee. 5.-The government yes
teray gave out the text of the entente note
OF Dec. I protesting against the develop
ment of Germany's military forces The
note refers to the formation of bodies out
side the actual army, such as the public
security police, the volunteer guard and
the citizens guard, in contravention, it is
declared, of the peace treaty The note
says the organizing of these bodies may
be interpreted as an intention on the
part OF Germany not to fulfil the terms
Of the treaty" and it requests the Ger
man government to abolish these forces or
10 reduce them in accordance with the
provisions of the treaty
According to a senii-official explanation
issued here, the government denies any
intention of increasing the army. 1t de
clares that the reduction of the army &c
the stipulated limit of 100000 is in full
swing, and it expresses regret that there
has never been beginning of the mutual
discussion with the entente on the sub
| ject of the strength of the policing forces
which Germany finds it necessary to main
tain in the interest of public security, al
| though Germany several months ago sug
gested such discussion.
