sides and bending over.
Santa may play at being late, and
after he has filled the stockings he Is
caught by dad. who loudly notifies the
household and insists that the old fel-

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only 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
perfect hearing, and when it 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
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru
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 Catarrh Medicine. Cir
culars free. All Druggists. 75c.
