Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased, portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
Illumination can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing 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

lars, free.
