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 of 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 be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars; free, F. J. CHENEY A CO., Toledo, O.

Poison the vines, using Paris green; either as a powder, ®r in waler. In the former case, thoroughly mix Paris green with cheap flour, at the rate of one pound of the “green” to twenty pounds of fl ,ur Dust the mixture thoroughly over the vines, using a rather course linen bag, on the end of a short stick, or by means of a powder bellows. The poison will stick better if sprinkled ou while the plants are wet with dew ; or, previous to the ap plication of the poison, sprinkle the plants with an ordinary garden sprink ler. If a spray pump is at hand,it will be preferable to apply the poison, mixed with water, as a spray, using Paris green at the rale of one ounce to each five gallons of wa’rr. To this, add a quart of milk of lime, which will make the mixture more adhesive, and also destroy any burning effect cf poison on the foliage. Keep the mixture well stirred, and spray thoroughly. There is, of course, absolutely no danger of poisoning the potatoes un derground, by spraying poison on the vines. It will doubtless bo necessary to make another spraying or dusting about ten days from the first, as those insects in the egg stage, during the first application, will not be poisoned ; but they will have batched by the time the second application is made, and the larvre readily killed. Paris green is a deadly poison, and should be carefully labelled and kept so that no harm may result to those tmacqu tinted with it- poisonous ns* ture. A. L. E, Biologist, Ga. Exp. Station.

Fill a bottle or common glass with your water and let it stand twenty-four hours ; n sediment or settling indicates an unheal thy condition of the kidneys; if it stains your linen it is evidence of kidney trouble; too frequent desire to pass it or pain in the back is also convincing proof that the kid neys .nd bladder are out of order. What to Do.

The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp- Root is soon realized. It stands the high est for its wonderful cures of the most dis tressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.
