Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
by unconstitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is infamed you have a rumbing 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 infaned condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
