DeafneSs Cannon Re Cured

By local application 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 is infamed you have a
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 10 its nor
ma condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out OF ten are caused
by Catarrh. which is nothing but the in
famed condition OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give one Hundred Dollars for
any case OF Deafness caused by catarrhl
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
