by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness. and that is by

Deafness is caused by an infiamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing. and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit. Unless the Inflammation can
be reduced and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases OF
deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an inf1amed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medi-
