Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
intlamed condition of the mucous
lining of the eustachian tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have Il
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition. hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases, out of ten are caused
bv catarrh, which is nothing but an
intlamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We Will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
cularS. free.

A PErRIFIED finger is reported to
have been found in Idaho, and science
is bothered as to its origin and own
ership. The conclusion that it is the
famous finger of scorn and became
petrified from overwork and astonish-

the ubiquitous Idaho liar, does not
seem illogical.
