DEAFNESS CAN.
 NOT 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 thag is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube IS inflamed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the re suit. Unless the inflammation car be reduced and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mu- cous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medi- cine acts through the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Halls Ca tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All Druggists, 75c.
