December 18 8t> w&f 2t 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 inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets 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 eases 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 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, Ohio.

If goods are constantly sold below cost, failure is bound to come. If prices are marked away up I people will not come more than once ana traae is light. Too high or too low prices mean failure. Just where the turning point is, between too low and too high prices, is hard to determine. In marking our goods, we go low instead of high when we are in doubt where the turning point was. If you pay more for goods in our line than we charge, which some of you do, it is no fault of ours. If you are not getting a real good Chewing Tobacco for 35 cents a pound, you are paying more than the goods are worth, we sell the best Tobacco we ever saw for the money at 25 cents a pound. A splendid article for 30 cents. We sell a good Cigar 3 for 5 cents; better 2 for 5 cent* and the best at 5 cents each. J AS. M. STARR. ROOT-TEA-NA.
