There is only one way to cure- deaf ness, and that is by constitution al remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflained condition of the macousi' lining of the Eustachian Tube. Whei^ this tube is inflained you have ^ rumbling sound or imperfect hear-' ing, and when It is entlreiy closedV Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal con dition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are Caused by Catarrh, which is notfiingr but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Doirars for any case of Deafbeas (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cui^ by Catarrh Cure. Send for circii- lars, free. F. J.
