Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be
Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased por ton of the ear.
There is only one way to cure cartarr-
hal deafness, and that is by constitu-
ional remedy Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubes
When this tube inflamed 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 to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Many cases of deafness are
caused by catarrh, which is an infiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.

Masculine COnstancy.

In the days when Lord Kitchener. the
invincible bachelor, was remarkng the
British Indian forces a youthful officer
asked for furlough 10 go home and be
married. Kitchener listened patient
ly, says Everybody's Magazine, and
then spoke kindly:
"Kenilworth, you're not yet twenty
five. You're in the mist of a piece of
work | value and which you're doing
eNcellently. Wait year. BY that
time you'll have cleaned the slate and
tried out your own young mind. If still
you Still desire to do this thing, speak
to me again, and you shall have leave :
and III take you back on the staff after
wards"
The year passed and the officer once
more proffered his request.
And you really tell me-" asked Kit
chener, that after thinking it over for
twelve months you still wish to marry ?"
Yes, sir, very much indeed"
Adjutant," commanded Kitchener,
Wentworth is TO have furlough to go
10 his own wedding. And frankly, nv
ooy' scarcely thought there was 81
much consistency in the masculine
