case like scarlet fever sometimes cause deafness But by far the most common cause of loss of hearing is catarrh of the head and throat
 A nrominent specialist on ear troubles gives as his opinion that nine out of ten cases of deafness is traced to throat trou- ble. this Is probably over-stated, but 1t is certainly true that more than half or all cases of poor hearing were caused by catarrh
 The catarrhal secretion in the nose and throat finds it's way into the Eustachian tube and by clogging 1t up very soon af- fleets the hearing, and the hardening of the secretion makes the loss of hearing nermanent unless the catarrh which caused thr trouble Is cured.
 Those who are hard of hearing may think this d littr far fetched, but any one at all observant must have noticed how a hard cold in the head will affect inc hearing and that catarrh if long neg Iected will certainly impair the sense of hearing and ultimately cause deafness.
 If the nose and throat are kept clear md free from the unhealthy secretions of catarrh the hearing will at once greatly ir,nrova and anyone suffering from deaf ness and catarrh can sati4fy themselves nm this point by using fifty cent box of Stuart's Catdrrh Tablets, new ca tarrb plTp. when III lIlt phst Stdl idS u,o, the approval of thousands of ca- tarrh sufferers, as well as physicians. because bee 1t is in convenient form to use. contajns no cocaine or opate and is as asn arJ pIeaSant for children as for their elders
