peafness cannot Be cured


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
iniamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when 1t is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result. and unless the in
fammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's norman condi.
ton. hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by Catarrh. which is nothing but
an infamed condition of the mucous
services.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
