Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
int1amed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed for
ever! 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
Dollars for any case of Deafness
