Deafness Cannot be Cured-
by local applications as they cannot
reach tbe diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and tbat is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition of tbe mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless
the iuflammution 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 inrlamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give ONE HUNDRED
DOLLARS for any case of deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot be
cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send
