CATARRHAL DEAFNESS

CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cum
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way
to cure catarrhal deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by
an inffamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachlan
Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, DEAFNESS is the
result. Unless the inflammation
can be reduced and this tube re
stored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever.
Many cases of deafness are caused
by catarrh, which is an infamed
condition of the mucous purfaces
Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucuous sur
faces of the system.
