Deafness Cannot Be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional rem.
edies. Deafness is caused by an in.
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the eustachian tube. When this
tube is ina:med you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and whea
it is entirely closed. deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation
a be taken out and this tube restor-
ed to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh, which Is
nothing but IN inflamed 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
