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 ca
tarrhal deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedy. Catarrhal deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When the tube Is
infiamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed, deafness Is the result.
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 infamed condition Of the mu-
cous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medi-
cine acts through the blood on the
mucous surfaces of the system.
We give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
