DEAFNESS CANNOT DE 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 consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
lnflamed condition of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, 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
Catarrh. which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
