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
remedies. Deafness is caused by al
infamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed, you have q
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result and unless the in
flammatiOn 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 in
TANNED condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
