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 inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is inflam
ed you have a rumbling sound or imper
fect hearing, and ivhen it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the resnlt, 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 condi
tion 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
Onre. Send for circulars jree.

Great Surgery in Future
Berlir. Prof. Posner, a well
known surgeon, in an article
in the Gartenlaube declares
that surgery is making such
progress that he looks forward to
the time when surgeons will be
able to attach an .artificial leg to
the body. He goes further and
says that in the tuture surgeons
will find no difficulty in attaching
a beheaded head to the trunk, in
case the operation is carried out
expeditiously.
Brownsville should beware
Jest the golden opportunity now
within her grasp escape never to
return again. The thousands of
horaeseekers coming to the lower
Rio Grande have the money to buy
Iiomes or small farms, and will
iielp to develop the country and
build up towns wherever they
locate. If Brownsville lags behind
now, she will get so badly left in
-the race of progress that she may
-never be able to catch up again. It
as not probable that lands in this
region will continue to bring such
good prices in the future as at
j resent.
