DEAFNESS CANNOT BF CURED
by local appH cation a, as they cannot
reach the diseased coition of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
cobs, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
Inflamed condition of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is Inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imper
fect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, deafness is the result, and urn
elsw the inflammation can be taker,
out and this tube restored to its nor
ma] condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever ; nine case? out of ton
pre caused by Catarrh, which is noth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollar?
for any case of deafness (caused by
Catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culars, frea.

Rcintf a Story of a Mysterious
Disappctrancc

I pave her tno room in wmcn my
wife hud slept with one of the children
?the other child hnd slept with me-- ;
and told her she would find articles of
apparel and toilet there, the room not
having been changed In any way since
tny wife's death. She retired to it, nnd
somehow I hoped she would never re
turn to her past existence.
In the morning when the children
awakened I sent them in their nighties
into her room. They came out with
wonder on their faces, the boy ex
claiming:
"Oh. papa. God has sent ns a new
mamma."
I took them up in my arm<: and *aid.
"I sincerely hope he has."
Leaving my find with the children,
I took a train for the city nnd on ar
rival went straight to the superin
tendent of police. There were notes
of a groat many disappearances on his
hooks that hnd occurred in different
i places, bnt none covering this case.
I left a description of the woman who
had come to me. with her dress and
ipparent station In life, stating that
she was probably country bred. Then
I returned to my home, which for the
first time since my wife's death look- j
ed like home. I found the woman
with both children in her lap. tellinc
them stories.

was nothing to bp desired In our fam

There were six or eight boys and flrls

A great load was lifted from oor

for New York, resuming a Journey
that had been Interrupled for fifteen

She alvo discovered that her aunt, who
