J.‘ they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deaf- ness and that is by a CODStitUtiOD- .il remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is \ ,msed by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustach- ian tube. When this tube is in- flamed you have a rumbling mund or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely clOsed‘ Deafness is the result. Unless the influma- tion can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for ever. Many cases of deafness are caused by cartarrh, which is an in- flamed condition of [the mucous surfaces. Hall’s Csrtarrh Cure acts through the blood on the mu- cons sun-laces of the s stem. We will give One undred Dal- larl for any cane of Cstarrhal Deafness that cannot be. cured by Ball’s Cater-r15 Cue. circulars hoe. All (finalists; “me.

The small heavy ball will go farther than the lighter or larger ball for the player who can hit it extremely hard owing to its less resistance from the air. Because of its weight and small size it can bore its way through the air almost like a bullet. In the case of a lady or a very light hitter I firmly be- lieve they will get much better results with the large light ball since became of its greater resiliency it will get the maximum distance from a much lighter blow. So my advice would be for a light hitter to use the light ball, the average hitter the medium weight and the hard hitter the heavy balLâ€"Outins. Phi Beta Kappa.
