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 cartarr-
hal deafness, and that is by cons THU
ional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachiaa Tubes
When this tube inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result Unless the inflammation
can be reduced and this tube to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever Many cases of deafness are
caused by catarrh, which is an infiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrah Peafness that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Medi
