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 catarr-
hkl deafness, and that is by constitu-
4ional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
when this tube is infamed you have a
rnnnbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed. Deafness
Is the result. Unless the inflammation
Ian be reduced and this tube restored
40 its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh, which Is
an infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces of the system.

Cards were allowed in the asylum, and on the eventful evening, in connection with another patient and two attendants, game of draw poker was indulged in. As the game pro- ceeded, the patient became more and more excited. At last, on one of the hands, the betting became so spirited that one attendant and the other pa- tient drew out.
 The dumb man and his opponent raised each others bets until almost all the chips were exhausted, when the attendant, calling his opponent, threw down four kings and proceed ed to rake in the pot. The dumb pa tient had by this time become so ex- cited that he jumped to his feet, and, grabbing the chips, yelled to the at tendant, Hold on, you damn fool; l have four aces!" The game had the desired effect and the patient has con- tinued to talk ever since.
