Deafness Cannot Be Cured

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications. as they cnnot
reach the diseased portion of the year.
There is only n way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the MUCOUS lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When the tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing. and when it Is
entirely closed. deafness is the result,
and uni SIS the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition. hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by catarrh. which is moth
ing but an inflamsd condition Of the
mucous surfaces.
Ne will give One Hundred Dollars
for anv case OF Deafness (caused by
Catarrh) that cannot be cured by
