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 con-* stitutlonal remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining 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 causes out of ten 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 F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

STATEMENT OF THE FARMERS’ INSURANCE COMPANY.

To the Members of die Farmers’ Mutual Insurance Association, of Renton, Jasper and White Counties, Indiana: We wis'h to thank the members of the Association for their promptness in paying the assessments’for 190910. We have paid back all the money borrowed for the payment of the 1909 losses, having no outstanding claims of any kind against the association and have money to pay the first losses of 1910 to our credit. In the past there has been a certain class of agents, claiming to represent the old line insurance companies, traveling over part of our territory misrepresenting our association, and according to their statements, looking (at so much per look) after the welfare of the poor farmers, wijo have their own intereats. They have sobbed (at so much per sob) their souls dry, worrying over our welfare.

It does seem rather strange, when you come to. think of it, that the farmers would have the nerve to think they could organize for their own protection without consulting the self-appointed overseers of our welfare, but the farmers of Indiana are doing it to the extent of more than $90,000,000,00 (in 37 companies that report to the State Union), in live insurance in force January 1, 1910. It looks like the Farmers’ Mutuals were failures, don’t it? Our association has $2,000,000,00 in round numbers, of as good insurance as waii ever written by any company in this state. We are square with the world financially and pay every dollar of insurance we agree to pay. We do not offer any “Get rich quick” insurance at a cost that no old line company can meet, unless you can believe that from 35c to 75c on the SIOO is cheaper than about 20c on the SIOO, which has been our average for over 13 years of organization. We have no desire to quarrel with the old line companies, for there is room for Us all, but we are getting tired of the persistent misrepresentations made of our company by a class of their agents. » We believe in the saying, "Live and let Live.’.’ w. i. McCullough, Pres. Fowler, Indiana. FRANK E. FISHER, Secy., Remington, Indiana. M. I. ADAMS, Solicitor, Rensselaer.
