Deafness Cannot Be 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 constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by an infamed
condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube IS infamed you have a
rumblng 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, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an indamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case
of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot bo
cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
