DEAFNESS 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 con dition of the mucous lining of the Eus tachian 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 ta ken out and this tube restored to ite normal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever ; nine cases out of ten re caused by catarrh, which Is noth S buran mflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. ,a We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by ca tarrh) that cannot be cured by HaHs CaSrrhCare.

The influences of claimtic conditions in the cure of consumption is very much overdrawn. The poor patient, I and the rich patient, too, can do much better at home by proper attention to food digestion, and a regular use of German Syrup. Free expectoration in the morning is made certain by ger man Syrup, so it is a good night's rest and the absence of that weakening cough and debilitating night sweat. Rest'ess night sweats and the exhaust ion due to cotgbiug, the greatest dan ger and dread of the consumptive, can be prevented or stopped by taking Ger man Syrup liberally and regularly. Should you be able to go to a warmer clime, you will find that of the thous ands of consumptives there, the few who are benifitted and regain strength are those who use German Syrup.
