There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the eustachian tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumblin G
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but in inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
