Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, ms they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by consttu,
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in.
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is intiamed
ing, and when il is entirely closed deafness il
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an ntiamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces
We will give one hundred dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by Catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send TO
circulars, free.
