Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local appllCations 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.
HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts
through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces
Of the System. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition OF the
mucous lining OF the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t is entirely closed Deafness Is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing may be destroyed
forever. Many cases OF Deafness are
caused by Catarrh, which is an infsmed
condition of the Mucous Surfaces.
ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS for any
case Of Catarrhal Deafness that cannoI
be cured by HALLS CATAtttSEd
