thing either. and so I really don't know
what Is going on" And then Senator Fries
went into a detailed statement Of the good

Deafness Cannto 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
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when il is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result.
and unless 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 nothing
but an infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall $
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.
