People who had suffered for years found no cure for their kidney disorders until they used Dr. Sawyer’s Ukatine.

•‘I Was Weak, Nervous and Run Down.” I want to testify to the good Brown’s Cure has done me.

Ingalls, Crown Point, N. Y., writes: “My wife suffered from kidney trouble for” years. She consulted several physicians and tried a number of Kidney Cures without getting relief.

The question for our youthful mathematicians to decide is which one was ahead on the deal. 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 inj flammation 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 any case of deafnesscaused by catarrh that cannot becured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. Cheney A Co., Toledo, O. Sold by druggists, 75c.

Made a new man of him. Bryan, Ohio, Jan. 13. 1897. Gentlemen: For years I had been suffering with indigestion. Had a poor appetite and could not eat anything containing grease and had constantly a worn-out leeling. After using three 50e bottles of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup of Pepsin I am now able to eat anything my appetite craves and can say it has made a hew man of me. Eli Bowen.

I never felt so badly in all my life. When I came down to work this morning I felt so weak I could hardly work. I went to Miller A McCurdy’s drug store and they recommended Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It worked like magic and one dose fixed me all right. It certainly is the finest thing I ever used for stomach trouble. I shall not be without it in my home hereafter, for I should not care to endure the sufferings of last night again for fifty times its price.- G. H. \\ ilson, liveryman, Burgettstown.
