' Frozen To Death . :
Langdon, N. D., Dec.-; 7.-16 i-a maJk--
today since a train of any sort hfa arrived
in this town. The storm was tfceeuively
severe in this section, tbo temperature
dropped as low as 30 degrees belVw x.ero.
Three persons are known to havtf beau -frozen
todeatb near hero, sovernljthMrs
are missing. Mrs. Mikellson was vrozea
to death in her house, three miles noth ,
of hero, and a man and his wife lost their
lives fleeing from the storm after their
house had been destroyed by lire.
In Emmons county a pitiful case of
suffering and death is reported. A' Rus
sian family named Belovitzy ran out' of
firewood right in the midst of tne Btorn
and in their desperation they bad torn
down and burned a part of the house.
This let in the intense cold, and three
Childern, were found frozen to death.
; Deafess Cannot Be Cured,
by "local application as they cannot reach
the diseased portion oft he 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 Eustrchian Tube.
When this, tube is inflamed you havo a
rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inftamation
and be taksn out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will bo
destroyed forever ; nine cases out of ten
are 'caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of tbe mucous
surface.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Daafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot Ike cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circular; free. F. J.
