Had kidney disease 27 years. Mr. G. A. Stillman, a merchant of Tampico, 111., writes: '‘Foley’s Kidney Cure is meeting with wonderful success. It has cured some eases here that physicians pronounced incurable. I myself am able to testify to its merits. My face today is a living picture of health and Foley’s Kidney Cure has made it such. I had suffered twenty-seven years with the disease, and today I feel ten years younger than I did one year ago. I can obtain some wonderful certificates of its medical qualities. Holthouse, Callow & Co. j The crime of wife-beating has become so common of late that some extraordinary punishment seems to be needed for its suppression. When garroting became common in the streets of London some years ago the restoration of the whipping post for those convicted of the crime proved an effectual remedy. Perhaps a temporary resort to it here in the case of wife-beiters would prove efficacious. 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 J inflamed condition of the mucous ! lining of the Eustachian Tube. When 1 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 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 deafness caused by catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.
