HE SECRET OF SUCCESS
"to take advantage of every opportunity. We
had the opportunity of placing our orders
for fall and winter goods before the ad
vance in cotton and woolen goods,
which gives us the pleasure of
being able to continue to
SELL CHEAPER THAN OUR COMPETITORS
In fa^t, we are enabled to sell many ar
ticles for less than they could now be
bought for direct from the factory.
Our system of doing business is
“Your Money’s Worth or Your Money Back.”
We invite you to inspect our large and select
stock and are ready to prove every
thing we claim.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.
By local applications as they
cannot reach the diseased portion
of the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eu
stachian 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 inflam
mation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed for
ever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is noth
ing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous services.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of deafness (caus
ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured
by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars, free.
