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, ana that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inhamed you have running sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be de- stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh which is nothing but an unframed 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.
