Deal'mvss Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as llioy cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafue-s is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Knstachlan Tube. When this tube gets Inhumed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect bear
ing, and when it is entirely dosed deafness is
the result, and unless the information can lie
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, healing will lie destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is an inflamed condition of the mucous

Christmas Day dawned coldly, but
brightly, in Brookhaven. A heavy
frost reminded one of the snow on
Santa Clous' sleigh and reindeers, and
the sharp pop of pistols and fire
crackers that waked the children to a
realization of their anticipatory dreams,
was the signal that raised the cur
tain on the Christmas scene of 1900
the last of the century- It was a most
delightful day to the vast majority in
our little city. So brightly did the sun
beam upon the joys of the occasion,
that many were tempted out of doors
in the afternoon and walks and drives
and pleasant social meetings were
features that gave a freedom to the de
lights of the day that have seemed,
somet imes, inclined to selfishness when
confined to ones own sanctum.
Extraordinarily good order prevailed
Christmas eve and, Christmas day very
few arrests being necessary.

My son has suffered with stoue in
the bladder eight years. I have taken
him to several watering places, also to
Cincinnati, New York, Chicago and
Nashville, where he was put under em
inent physicians, with no improve
ment; on the contrary,it was gradually
getting larger, until I lost all hope of
getting him cured, when I was told of
Smith's Sure Kidney Cure. I had him
try it, and to my surprise he began to
improve at once, and he was cured
with two bottles. His general health
has improved wonderfully.
