Deafness Cannon be oured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused BY an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachain tube. When
this tube gets inflammed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflammed
condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of deafness caused by
catarrhj that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars free.
