There Is only one way to cure deafness
and that IS BY constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an iliiamed con
dition Of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
obtained you have a iumbing sound or
imperfect hearing, and when IL Is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result. and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
ana this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed Tor
ever; nine cases out OF ten are caused
BY Catarrah, which is nothing but an
inhamed condition Of the mucous sur
fares.
We viii give one Hundred Dollars for
any case OF Deafness caused by Ca
