duced to elevate the end of Belgrade ave-
nue. little in order to make an easy APP

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 constitutional remedies. Deafness
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 inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by Catarrh which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous services.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

of burning powder in his face last Thurs
day morning, while setting off an i'm
poverished cannon, la Fourth of July,
