Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the dis eased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian tube. When this tnl»e is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deaf ness is the result and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi tion, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deamess (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. J. F. CHENEY & Co., Toledo, O.

After a weary wait the drillers reached the required depth last Monday evening, and found what we cxpected they would lind, a verification of the coal vein re vealed by the other test boles in the bottoms. In the hole just completed, a fine vein of coal about 55 inches was found at about 480 feet, covered with a roof of shale about 4 or 5 feet thick. The drillers have had all sorts of bad luck in drilling this hole, and are still in trouble as they are unable to get the core barrel out. The boys are still try ing to get it out and we hope they will succeed. The showing of this hole is a very gratifying piece of news as it clears away all doubts as to the extent of the coal field and the enormous size of the vein. When Mr. Strause made the an nouncement while drilling the oil well that he had struck a vein of coal 5 feet thick but few believed it as it sounded too good to be true, and the people were not fully satisfied until the core from the hole Mr. West drilled a few feet from the oil well proved that Mr. Strause was practically correct. Six core holes have been drilled—one half a mile east and a little south of the oil well, three west and one southwest of the oil well—and all of these test holes have told practically the same story. This simply means great things for Cainsville. Sooner or later it means a city of 3000 to 5000 with factories and other industries attracted by our cheap fuel, more railroads, and business enter prises generally. The future prospects of the town certainly "look* good" to us.—Cains ville News. Won't Slight a Good Friend. "If ever I need a cough medicine again I know what to get," declares Mrs. A. L.

Try The Money-Back Cure For In digestion. Nine times in ten stomach derange ments are responsible for sallow com plexion, dull eyes and thin body. It is the stomach that supplies nourishing blood 'to the rausoles, the nerves, and skin. If the stomach is healthy, plenty of nutritions matter will be absorbed by the blood. If it is not healthy, the food will ferment, and un digested, will pass along through the bowels, furnishing so little nutritions matter that the blood becomes impover ished, and the glow of health vanishes. If you suffer from nervousness, sick headache, belching of gas, sour taste in the mouth, heaviness after eating, or any qther miserable stomach disturb ance, you need Mi-o-na, and the sooner you get it the quicker you will be healthier and happier. It will relieve any distressed stomach condition almost immediately. It will cure if used according to directions. L. P. Van Werden sells it for 50 cents a large box, and he thinks enoagh of it to guarantee it to cure indigestion. HY0ME| I FMMm HI6H-0-H£) I Cures catarrh or money back. Just breathe it in.
