Deafness CANNOT Ra Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness.
and that is by constitutional remediea
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con.
dition of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube ia
inflamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by Catarrh which is moth.
ing but an inflamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall q
