There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitution al remedies. Deafness is caused 5y an inflamed condition of the mucou»- lining ofthe Eustachian Tube. When tKis 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 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 nothinjir but an inflamed 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 for circu lars, free. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.
