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 inhamed CON
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus.
tachian Tube. When this tube is in.
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, aud when it is entire.
ly closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Uatarrh, which is nothing but an in,
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by ca.
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.
