Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that's by the
constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an infamed con-
dition OF the mucous lining ef the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken outand
this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an inf1amed con-
ditlon of the mucous surfaces. =
We will give One Hundred Doll
lars for any case of Deafness
| (caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.
