Deafness Cannot he Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion oi the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining <>t the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous sur faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of .Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot lie cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send tor circulars; free. F. J. CHENEY A CO., Toledo, O.

Two witnesses have been requested to appear on Sat urday, John Arbuckle, the coffee mer chant, and C. C. Clarke, of Peoria, a distiller. On May 15 Gen.
