far the most common cause of loss
of hearing is catarrh of the head and
throat.
prominent specialist on ear trou-
bles gives as his opinion that nine
out of ten cases of deafness il traced
to throat trouble: this is proba blv
overstated, but il iS certainly true
that more than half of all cases of
poor hearing were caused by catarrh.
The catarrhal secretion in the nose
and throat finds its way into the
Eustachian tube and by clogging it
up 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 NAV
think this little far fetched. but
any one at all observant must have
noticed how a 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
secretions of catarrh. the hearing
will at once greatly improve and any
one suffering from deafness and ca
tarrh can satisfy themselves on this
point by using n fifty cent box of
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, new ca
tarrh cure, which in the past year
has won the approval of thousands of
catarrh sufferers, as we'll as physi-
clans, because il is in convenient
form to use, contains 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,
Guaiacol, Eucalyptol and similar an
tiseptics and they cure catarrh and
catarrhal 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 imagination to discover whether
you are getting benefit from Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets; improvement and
relief are apparent from the first tab
let taken"
All druggists sell and recommend
them. They cost but fifty cents for
full sized package and any catarrh
sufferer who has wasted time and
money on sprays, salves and powders.
will appreciate to the full the merit
of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
