Deafness Cannot be Cured By local applications, as they can- not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafuess, and that {is by constitution- al remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tubefs inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing and when it 1s entirely closed, deaf- nese is the result, and unless the in- flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to {ts normal con- dition, hearing will be destroyed for- ever; 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 cage of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circu- lars free F. J.Caangy & Co. Toledo, O.

Washington, Nov. 18 —Postmast- er General Meyer expressed satisfac- tlon with the sentiments uttered in several quarters regarding the pro posal to establish a postal savings bank system in the United States. “[ learn that the National Manu- facturers’ association in St. Louls has indorsed the plan,” he said, “and Iam told that the National Grange {n session in Hartford will do the same. I have consulted many bankers about {¢ and I believe there will be little opposition to_the plan from national banking Institutions. Ot course, its main object 1s to keep money in circulation. “T have observed the workings of the postal savings bank system in Canada and find that in the last thirty-nine years the government has recelved deposits in the postal banks amounting to 400 milion dol- lars. In this period the losses from dishonest postmasters and other causes have amounted to only about $25,000. “Our plan is to lend the deposit to national ‘banks, putting the money back in circulation and charg- ing interest at the rate of 24 or 3 per cent.” Mr. Meyer expressed the opinion that [many !mmigrants and citizens of foreign birth would, under the operation of the postal savings bank system, deposit thelr money in post offices instead of sending {t to Europe. He believes the amount sent to Europe every year by immigrants is not less than 150 million dollars. The Postmaster of Gasconade, Mo., Daniel A.
