Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way TO cure catarrhal deafness
and that IS by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining Of
the Eustachian TUBE. When this tube is
tn6amed you have \ rImbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing. and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result Unless the
inaamm alton 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 infiamed condition of the mucous sur-
faces Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system
We will give One HundreI Dollars for
any CAGE of Catarrhal Deafnt 3 that cannot
be cured by Hairs Catarrh Medicine. Cir
