Deaf lies cannot 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.
W hen this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
ia the result, and unless the inflaniatlon
can be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, heiring will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any Cf se of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrah
Cure. Send for circulars; free.
