Deafness Cannot Be Cured t?y 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 murnim Mnlnc 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 destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition, of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for anv case of Deafness (caused by catarrh > that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO.. Toledo. Ohio.

"I have just finished my third bottle of Tanlac and nave gained twenty seven pounds", was the truly remarkable statement made by Mrs. Chas. Pedden, who resides at 550 Mill Street, Huntsville, Ala. Mrs. Pedden is one of the best known and highly respected women of that thriving little city, where she has made her home for a number of years. "When I commenced taking Tanlac," she continued, "I only weighed ninety eight pounds; now I weigh one hundred and twenty-five pounds, and never felt better in my life. For year31 have suffered with a bad form of stomach trouble, constipation and pains in my side and back. At times the pains took the form of .torture and I was'twice examined and each time I was told that I had appendicitis and that an operation would be my only hope. I had fallen off until I only weighed ninety-eight pounds and was so weak I could hardly get around. "I had no appetite at all scarcely, and what * little I did eat would causc gas to form in my stomach, which gave me palpitation of the heart, sick headaches and a dizzy feeling about the head. When these spells came on me I would get aw fully nervous. I worried about myself until I could rest and sleep but little. "I had fallen off until I was almost 'skin and bone,' and my strength and energy were slowly leaving me. I had a dread of the future and could see nothing but the operating table and the knife. I had a perfect horror of an operation, but had made up my mind that it was either life or death and prepared to submit to it I had made all preparations for the operation and called on my sister to tell her good bye and I did not know whether I would live to see her again or not. My sister begged and pleaded with me not to allow them to cut on me and told me to wait and try a good tonic for a while. The next day as I returned from the-consultation room I thoughjt of what she said, and, as I had heard so much about Tanlac I decided to try it as a last resort, and stopped at Gilbert's Drug Store and got a bottle. Of course. I .had lost heart and had no faith in the medicine but to please my sister I made up my mind to take it, and, oh, what a happy day that was for me! "I never returned for the operate Daylight Corner A Man's Store !

I sent and got another bottle of Tanlac, and have just finished taking my third bottle and feel like I have been mad^pll over again into a new woman. "As I have said before, I now weigh 125 pounds and my improvement has been so rapid that none of my clothes are big enough for me. I will have to make them all over again. I now have a ravenous appetite and my husband says I am simply eating him out of house and home. I have even gone back to my coffee, which J was told not to touch. Those terrible pains in my back and head have all disappeared J and I sleep like a child. I am no longer nervous and when I get up in the morning I feel refreshed, cheerful and bright. I am now able to attend to my household duties and I feel as if I had started life all over again. My husband is highly delighted and my recovery is the talk of the neighborhood. I do nothing but rejoice all day long over the recovery of my health and I praise Tanlac to everybody. "I feel so grateful for my escape from the operating table and the 4-1% ^4- i?a? *v? o *T nrKof T MIliC Uiau yvju uiaj ttumw ? ^ have said; you may, if you wish, tell other women suffering as I was to come to me and I will be glad to tell them all about my case."
