Deafness Cannot Re Cured

by local applications rs 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 inhamed con.
dition Of the mucous lining of the Eus.
tachian Tube. When this tube is i'm.
tanned you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is Ell.
tlrely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be DESTROYED
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
10y catarrh, which is nothing but an in
tanned condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
Tor any case of Deafness (cauSe by ca.
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.
