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 infamed you have a rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the result Unless the inflammation can 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 faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system
