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 inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustschian Tube. When this
tube gets inflamed you have rumbling
sound or 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 its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrb, 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 circulars, free.

those parts and found himself prisoner.
The account of the battle of Manila bay
which has been written for the August "Cen-
tury" by Joel c. Evans, gunner OF the Bos-
