A certain largehearted man of 'the audience, after listening for some time to the flow of eloquence, decided to give at least $5,000 to so worthy a cause. As the speaker talked on and on the man became weary. The longer he talked the less he decided to give. Finally the hat was passed among the weary listeners and as it came his way the man of the $5,000 intention stole a dime. Instantly I saw where the dime of the Jackson

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion 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 resuft. 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 thru 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. Circuculars free. All Druggists. 75c. F. J CHENEY & CO., Toledo, 0.

What is life? ’Tis a delicate shell Thrown up by Eternity’s flow On Time’s bank of quicksand to dwell r And a moment its loveliness show. Gone back to its element grand, Is the billow that brought it on shore; See! another is washing the strand And the beautiful shell is no more.

THAT BAD BACK

Do you have a dull, steady ache in the small of the back-—sharp, stabbing twinges when stooping or /lifting—distressing urinary disorders? For bad back and weakened kidneys Rensselaer residents recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills. Read this Rensselaer statement. Joseph Smith, retired farmer, Van Rensselaer St., says: “I had weak kidneys for years. My back became stiff and sore and I have had to get up and down very carefully, because of the pain. My kidneys have often failed to act right and the secretions have been scanty and scalding in passage. I have felt ”’eak and tired. Doan’s Kidney Pills have always given me great relief.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Snaith had.
