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, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
Is caused by an infiamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely 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
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infiamed 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

turn thanks Now, we do not for a
minute think that there is one Of our
customers who Is not absolutely good,
and we thoroughly appreciate the high
class of our customers in so far as car

concerned; but some few Of them have
been a little slow in this matter, and
we simply wish to call their attention
to the fact that their accounts are past
due, and we wish them to settle up at
once. We do not say this merely for
something to say, or with any desire to
let you know that you owe US; but it is
matter Of business with us, and we
are in need Of our money. We need
the money In order to pay up our ac-
counts, to protect our credit, and to
enable us to have the wherewithal to
protect our customers interests in the
future. If you owe US, we should be
pleased to have you pay up at once.
You will thereby accommodate us, and
place us In position to accommodate
you again when you desire us to give
you accommodations. Do not forget
this, as we are not talking for amuse-
ment-we are not political spellbinders
talking to the wind; but are talking to
business men, who can realize that we
want what is due us, and want 1t as
early as possible.
