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 con
stitutional remedies, Deafness Is caused by
an infiamed condition of the mucas lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is infiamed you have rumbling sound oil
imperfect hearing, and when II Is entirely
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 forever. Nine cases out OF ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an infianled condition OF the mucas sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by cataTrh) that can.
