Deafness Can't be Cured

by local application, as they can not
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 inflaned con-
dition of the mncus lining of the Eustach-
ian tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the in>
hammation can be taken out and this
tube restored TO its normal condition,
hearing will he destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed cond-
ton of the mucus surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh
that we can not cure by taking Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.
