ISerore The ltace.
Pougiikeei'Sie, June 25. The big
'varsity day opened gray and hazy. The
wind was dead south with indications of
showers. The chances were considered
about even for each crew. For first
place the Harvard eight was a slight
favorite and the Cornell men were
anixous to bet that their crew would
beat Yale. Coxswain Colson said the
Cornell contingent was willing to let
the record made by Cornell last year
would bo broken. Lehman, at Harvard
quartors this morning, made almost the
same kind of a statement, saying he be
lieved the three crews were record
breakers. Bookmakers' offers of 12 to
10 against Harvard went without tak
ers. Deafneaa Cannot ho Cured

and that is bv constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Lus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirelv closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; ninecasas out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in

Aug. J. Bogel, the leading druggist of
Shreveport, La., says: "Dr. King's
New Discovery is the only thing that
cures my cough, and it is the best seller
I have." J. F. Campbell, merchant of
Safford, Ariz., writes : "Dr. King's New
Discovery is all that is claimed for it : it
never fails, and is a sure cure for Con
sumption, Coughs, and Colds. I cannot
say enough for its merits." Dr. King's
New Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs and Colds is not an experiment.
It has been tried for a quarter of a cen

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gener
ally needed when the languid, exhausted
feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid
and sluggish and the need of a tonic and
and alterative is felt. A prompt use of
this medicine has often averted long and
perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medi
cine will act'more surely counteracting
and freeing the system from the malar
ial poison. Headache, Indigestion, Cou
