Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portions of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When the tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing. and when 1t is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and the 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 inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (that
is caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.
