DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only ony way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an In
famed condition of the mucous lining
Of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inf1amed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
:csult, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restor-
ed to It's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
Of ten are caused by Catarrh. which Is
nothing but an inflamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.

sold by Henry Shulz, of Normal, ILL.,, to
II. w. and Phebe NJ. Pierce, OF Nc
