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 an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is inhan-
ed you have rumbling sound or imper,
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and tie
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 inhamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrb
