The building is taller than those surrounding it, and the boy was held a prisoner on the cornice, as not only were the roofs of the other buildings far below him but they were at such an angle that an attempt to jump to them would prola- bly have precipitated him to the street 1 below. The boy's position on the corâ€"l nice in the center of the building was untenable. the volumes offiimoke threa- tening every minute to smother him. With admirable presence of mind he began to crawl along the narrow ledge to its westward ending. To the crowd below it seemed an age before he reached the end of the cornice. and. then it seemed that he could hold on but little longer. as the flames were increasing at an amazing rate. After what sccmcd an age to the keyed-up spectators, the boy reacth the end.0f the condos, and thou, hanging (.11 With his right hand. swung his body around the corner to the wall of the building where the smoke and flame could not strike his body.

A hose carriage was the first on the socnc. but had no ladder long enough to reach by half.

This was the situation when llook and Ladder Comâ€" pany .\'o. 2 arrived. The celcrity and. disoipline with which the firemen act- cd were wonderful.

The second man carried a lighter ladâ€" dcr. which he planted on tho roof of thc smullcr building. leaning _up against the blank wall of the buildâ€" ing in which the fire raged.

Two doctors, on behalf of. the association, were sent to examine, hlm. and they pronounced him incurable and permanently disabled? and in acrordance with. their report he. was paid a disability insurance of $1,650.00. flh-is was about two years after his sickness began. For three years more he lingered in the condition above noted, utterly helpless, and a burden b0 himself and friends. He was then advised to try Dr. \Villiams' Pink Pills. He did not hope that they would help him. but in his sad con-, dition he was prepared to grasp at; anything that afforded the prospect of; even. aslight relief. The first change noted in, his condition after he began: the use of the pills wasadisposition to sweat freely. Then life began to re- turn to his hitherto dead body, and from that time on his progress to«, wards recovery and activity was steady and certain.

Deafness is cause by an lu- flamcd condition of the mucous lining of tho Ewhchian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear- ing. and when it is entirely closed.
