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
HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts
through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces
Vt the System. Catarrhal Deafness Is
saused by an infiamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustaehian Tube
When this tube Is infiamed you have a
rumblng 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 infiamed
condition of the Mucous Surfaces.
