ter, Mrs. W. K. Coe:
Dear Sister Mabel: Your
tors reached me yesterday, Sj||jj||
, course l was delighted to heaBijJ||
i | you. Since I wrote you last
changed locations, am now aljcV||J|
; miles from my company on de^B|||
■ duty. I went back to my cor^^H
[ last evening and spent the r^Hj
i there. Was with John this morni^l
1 He is getting along fine. I certainly]
i enjoyed your letters, Mabel; they
1! were so good ancl newsy. John and 1
/ exchanged letters, so we both got the
1 benefit of your writing,
t I believe peace is near. The way
the Sammies are going and will eon
s tinue to go sure will bring victory
a within fewer days than you imagine,
e I thought for a time I would never
t j hear from you all, and you may ipv
o ^ agin© how I felt. I sure would likcJjjj
get the Independent, and wish you
would send me one. We see the New
York Herald every day. It is pub
lished over here every day. I see a
good deal of news from the states, but
nothing about anybody I know. I
wish you would send me some new
pictures. But I don’t know but that
I would be ready to start home before
they reached me. John and I are well
and expect to see you soon.
Love and best wishes to all.

ATARRHAL DEAFNESS CAN- |
NOT BE CURED,
y local applications, as they cannot j
each the diseased portion of the ear.
’here is only one way to cure ca- j
arrhai deafness, and that is by a j
onstitutional remedy. Catarrhal j
leafness is caused by an inflamed .
ondition of the mucous lining of the j
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
nflamed you have a rumbling sound
>r imperfect hearing, and when it is
mtirely closed, (Deafness is the re-1
suit. Unless the inflammation car.
ie reduced and this tube restored to
ts normal condition, hearing will be __
iestroyed forever. Many cases oi
leafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an inflamed condition, of the mu
ious surfaces. Hall’s Catarrh Medi—
line acts through the blood on the '
mucous surfaces of the system.
We v/ill give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by,^ Hall’s Ca- *
tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All
Druggists, 75c.
