Deafness, Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion ol the c2r. There is oEly one way to cure deafness and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is cansed by an .inlamed condition of the niu- ,ous lining of the Eustachian lube. When his tube is inilamed you have q rulnblng sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and slnlcss the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condi- ton. hearing will be cestroyed forever; nine cases out of ten caused by Catarrh. which is nothing but ar intlamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars. free. ,zsrr
