Deafness 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
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rumbl-
ing sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result, and unless the infiamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear.
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed con-
ditson of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness caused by
catarrh that cannot be cured by
Halrs Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culars, free.

WE DON'T BELIEVE IT.

The following story is told on a
married couple in town:
The husband had been accustomed
to do all the shopping, but one day
having so much business on hand, it
became necessary to turn the buying
over to his wife. So he told her that
morning to stop into the butcher shop
and get a shin bone to make some
soup. She asked what shin bone
was, and her husband showed his shin.
When the wife arrived at the butcher
shop she had forgotten the name of
the bone she wanted, and to make the
butcher understand she raised her
skirts a trifle and tapped her shin
bone. When she returned home she
told her husband of her forgetfulness,
and how she had demonstrated to the
butcher what she wanted. The hus-
band heaved tired sigh and remark
ed. s'Well, my dear, I am glad | did
not tell you to get rump roast. y
