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 infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube When this tube is inham-
ed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is 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 inhaned condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrhl
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

Brownsville Mothers Should Not Neglect

Most children have weak kidneys,
The earliest warning is bed-wet-

Later comes backache, headache,

It's a mistake to neglect these
troubles,
To blame the child for its own
distress.

Save the child from deadly kid

Parents recommend them.

child, about eight years of age,
was troubled with a kidney ard
bladder ailment about a year ago.
The symptoms became more pro-
nounced and at night l had to watch
her and wake her up or she would
wet the bed as she seemed to have
no control over the action of the
kidney secretions. She also COM
