There is only one way to cure deaf- ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. 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 is the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and 'this tube restored to its normal condition, hearings will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Lord Northcliffe Referred To it In a Recent Speech. Lord Northcliffe, having referved the other day in the cow'se of + a 1 to the fact that one of the first Imglish newspaper advertise ments was published by Charles 1I, the advertisement in question has $ ipen hunted up and found in the files of the London Gazette for 1667 in the national library of the British mu- sum. It is so quaintly worded that it may be of interest to repro- duce 'it here. It geems that the kings pet dog had'been stolen , and this is the way in which he adver- tised for its return: "We must call upon you again for a Black Dog, . between a. Greyhound nd a Spaniel, no white about him, only a streak on his breast, and his tayl a little bobbed. It 4s His Ma- esty's own Dog, and doubtless was stolen. For the Dog was not horn or bred in Fugland, and would nev- r forsake his Master. Whosoever finds him miay acquaint any at White- 'hall, for the Dog was better known at Court than those who stole him. Will they never leave robbing His Majesty ? May he keep not even a Dog? This dog's place is the only lace which nobody has offered to buy." Of course, King Charles' insistence upon the fact that the dog "mot hav- ng iven born or breed in England would never forsake His master," was a covert allusion to the manner in which so many Englishmen had a- bandoned his own cause, and that of his illfated father, Charles I, in or- der to flock to the standard of Crom- well during the civil war, Lord Northcliffe referred to this as "one of the firat"' advertisements in newspapers. Priority is still claimed for the amowncement in the "Mer- curius Politicus" for September, 1638, as follows: "That excellent and ly all Physitians approved China Drink, called by the Chineans Teha. bv oth- er mations Tay, alias Tea, is sold at the Sultanese ead, a One in 8 i Rents, bv the Royal Exchange, London." While the lat- ter is usumlly considered as the first purely trade advertisement ia a jour- nal book aml quack medicine an- nouncement in newspapers have been traced as far Mack as in April; King Alfonso Popular.
