Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustacbian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have rumbing sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed fol eyer;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarr b
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure Send
