If a cough once gets into your
system i tracts o:i every muscle
and fibre’of the body and makes
you ache all over. It especially
affects the intestines and makes
you constipated, so in order to
get rid ©f a cold thoroughly and
without delay you should not
take anything that will tend to
constipate. Kennedy’s Laxative
Cough Syrup acts upon the bow¬
els and thereby drives the cold
out of the system. It contains
no opiates—it is pleasant to take
and is highly recommended for
children. Sold by S, H. Kelly.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
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 in¬
flamed condition of the mucous
lining cf the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or im¬
perfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflamma¬
tion can be taken ’out and this
tube restored to its normal con¬
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condi¬
tion of the mucuous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred
Dollars for any case of Deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot
be curred by Hall’s Catarrh
Cure, Send for circulars, free.

at Savannah, delivering a scath¬
ing rebuke to the mayor and al¬
dermen for licensing locker clubs
in Savannah. “Georgia’s law is
b ung outraged at the hands of
its sworu defenders,” declared
the preacher. “Instead of the
hoodlum element, it is the May¬

clubs are shams, and their li¬
cense is lawdessness of the worst
form.”
