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 IN infamed condi-
ton Of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan 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 in
famation can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed 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 Halls Catarrh
