Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way TO cure Deafness,
and that is by an infiamed condition OF
the mucous lining OF the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube gets infiamed
you have q rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, 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
by catarrh. which is nothing but an
infamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for aHv case OF Deafness (caused by
catarrb) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.
