HENRY C. BURR, B. B. DAVIS, May 23, 1899. Finance Committee. O:if < oiler: fexpeiiMeit. The - creme c art of Now York, Judge Gilders!.-..ve prvshlinrr, has decided that a hoy ot Ji', ought to Lave an allowance of fl,.Vina year to defray college expenses This is the case of Richard Delafield Ship man. Shipman is an orphan, the heir to a considerable fortune, which is held in . trust, for him. i pto last fall, when he entered Har- I \nrd. he was get dug an allowance of $2,000 a year rih Til. :< r his arrival at Cam bridge he a ppi: ■■■'. i.r an increase of $2,600, itemized as folio.-.

The court did not inquire into the de- - tails of the last two items, but promptly issued an order upon the executors of the estate to increase the allowance as re quested Deafness Cannot be Cured I by local applications as they cannot reach • the diseased portion of 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 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- i 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 j any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) ; that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh I Cure. Send for circulars; free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.
