DeafenesS Cannot he Cured

by local application as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way to cure deafeness, and
that is by constitutional remedies Deaf
ness is caused by an infiamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed YOU
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the in.
flamation 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 con
dition of the mucous services.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
