WHAT CAUSES DEAFNESS,
The Principal Cause is Durable but Geeer.
ally Overlooked.

Many things may cause deafness. and
very often it is difficult to trace
cause. Some people inherit deafness.
Acute diseases like scarlet fever some
times cause deafness. But by far the
most common cause of loss of hearing
IS catarrh Of the head and throat
A prominent specialist on ear trou-
bles gives as his opinion that nine out
OF ten cases Of deafness is traced to
throat trouble: this is probably over
stated. but 1t is certainly true that
more than half of all cases Of poor
hearing We're caused by catarrh
The catarrhal secretion in the nose
and throat finds its way into the
Eustachian tube and by cloGGins it
cp very soon affects the hearing and
the hardening Of the secretion makes
the loss of hearing permanent unless
the catarrh which caused the trouble
is cured
Those who are hard OF hearing may
think this a little far fetched. but any
one at all observant must have no
ticed how hard cold in the head
will affect the hearing and that ca
tarrh if long neglected will certainly
impair the sense of hearing and ulti-
mately cause deafness.
If the nose and throat are kept clear
and free from the unhealthy secrc-
tons of catarrh. the hearing will at
once greatly improve and anyone sur
fering from deafness and catarrh can
satisfy themselves on this point by US
ing a fifty cent box of Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets, a new catarrh cure,
which in the past year has won the
approval of thousands Of catarrh snf-
ferers as we'll as physicians. because
it is in convenient form TO use, con-
tains no cocaine or opiate and is as
safe and pleasant for children as FOR
their elders
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is whole
some combination OF Blood root. Guai-
acol. Eucaluptol and similar antisep-
tics and they cure catarrh and catarrh-
al deafness by action upon the blood
and mucous membrane of the nose and
throat
AS one physician aptly expresses it:
You do not have to draw upon the
to discover whether YOU
are getting benefit from Stuart's Ca.
tarrh Tablets; improvement and relief
are apparent from the first tablet TAX
en-.
All druggists sell and recommend
them.T They cost but fifty cents for full,
sized package and any catarrh suffer-
er who has wasted time and money on
sprays. salves and powders will ap-
preciate To the full the merit Of Stu.
arts Catarrh Tablets.
