Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by focal 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 inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is inflamed you have 6
rumbIing sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it 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 inflameG
condition of the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of deafness (caused by catarrh) thai
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure
