Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, az 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 an
inflamed condition Of the mucuous
lining of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
Ing, and when 1t is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be dest royed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition OF the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of deafness (caused
by catarrh) that cannot be cured by
