There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by a conatitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in- flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness {s the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous sur- faces.

Paris, Dec. 14, 5 a. m.—The disap- pointment shown hy the press over the new administration is emphasized in the comment on yesterday’s sitting of the chamber of deputies.

The st | supporters of the premier, such as the Figaro, are but lukewarm in their {appreciation. Alfred Capus, editor of | the Figaro writes: “Premier Briand faced his adver- saries with rare authority. On the question of the German peace pPropos- al, which dominates the hour. his sin- cerity and eloquence were unchanged. Neither is it possible to contest the i value of the proposed reforms—espe- cially that concerning alcohol— which the government has engaged to carry out in the shortest possible time. ‘We do not believe in his will and energy,” say the opponents of Bri- and.
