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 infamed condition Of the
mucous lining OF the Eustachian Tube
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbing sound or imperfect hearing, and
when il is entirely closed deafness is the
result. and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored TO its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroved forever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused by catarrh. which is nothing but
an intamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
