lief until the doctor should arrive.
In few hours he returned, saving
the doctor need not come. as the child
was much better. The druggist, Otto

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the eustacn ian tube. When
this tube gets intlamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the inilam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot he cured by
Halls Catarrh cure. Send for circu-
lars, free.
