K ( Diseases which afflict man- U evk.kv kind are due to disorders of rot-R ( the blood. In fact, if the vital fluid is kept in good condition, the tendency to any disease is lessened by three fourths. A harmless vegetable remedy, which cleanses the blood, should be taken occasionally by every one. In the young, it assists in the development of the body and mind. In the adult, it helps nature to keep up the equilibrium of strtngth, which is taxed by the labor and cares of life. To the old and those with the infirmi ties of age, it is invaluable for its tonic and .strengthening powers, to prevent diseases which are so often fatal to old people.

Deafness Can't Be Cured- by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever ; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Hall's Catarrh Cure.
