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 constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed condi.
ton of the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube gets inhamed
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 former condition, hearing
will be destt Dyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed 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 circular, free.
