Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased pprtion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal 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. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall’s Catarrh Medicine acts through the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All Druggists, 75c. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

With coal selling at S6O a ton in Italy and the government gradually taking over all existing supplies and prohibiting 'its uro by hotels and boarding houses, and with gas and electricity dear or the supply reduced. Italian householders and business offices have had to revert to the ancient methods of burning finely powdered wood charcoal dust in a two gallon earthen jar. The jar is filled half full of charcoal dust, placed in the open air or near an open window*- and same live coals of wood or charcoal put in the ednter of the dust. Slow/cons bustion is started and gradually the entire surface of the dust burns to ashes while the smoldering fire reaches downward. When, after twelve hours, no more smoke or little gas is given off, the heated jar is placed in the cold" room and let stay there for twentyfour hours, after which a fresh layer of dust is placed in the jar and the process repeated. Before the war this means of heating had been abandoned except by the very poor. .
