Deafness Cannot BE red.

by local applications, as they
cannot reach the diseased por-
tions of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed
condition of the mucous lining Of
the eustachian tube. When this
tube gets intiamed you have a
rumbling sound Of imperfect
hearing and when it is entirely
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 by
catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give one hundred dol
