Deafness Cannot be Cured

by sloca1' applications 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 inhamed con
dition fthe mucous lining ofthe eustach-
ian tube. When this tube Is infaned
you have a rutnbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the in
flammation 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 infamed condi-
tion 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.

as useless to try to escape from

can't do it. They are about us
on every hand and we are con-
stantly taking them into our
lungs.
Then why don't we all have
this disease ? Simply because
these germs cannot gain a foot
hold in a strong throat and
lungs. It's when these are
weak that the germs master.
The body must DO we'll supplied

when the blood is poor and the
body is thin. II your cough does
