Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
Catarrhal Deafness requires constitu-
tional treatment. HALLS CATARRH
MEDICINE is a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed, Deafness is the result. Unless
the Inflammation can be reduced, your
hearing may be destroyed forever.
HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts
through the blood on the mucous sur
faces of the system, thus reducing the in
flammation and restoring normal condi-
.tions

Lax Dope Law
Soon Swiss Issue

Geneva, Dec. &c CA. Z. by MaiD-
The opium problem was presented to
the Swiss authorities recently in the
form of voluminous documents from
vested interests, showing that the
ratification of Opium Convention,
signd in 1913. would practically ruin
an important Swiss industry and
thereby increase unemployment.
1t is acknowledged that Switzer-
land is the only country In the world
which fabricates and exports at the
same time both cocaine and morphine
in very large quantities; that this
expectation is under no control, and
that no official statistics have been
issued during the last ten years.
This state of affairs is. attributed
by some Swiss newspapers to the in
fluence of manufacturers in BeTne.
The Journal de Geneve declares that
the traffic in poison has reached such
proportions that n Basel Arm ad-
vertised recently IN Japan. offering
cocain in the form of crystal 10 any
quantity demanded.

OF the Opium Convention. the ques-
ton may be placed before the coun-
try In the form Of q referendum
