DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by locil applications as they cannot
reach the diseased porti .n 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 liDing of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Ueainess is tne result, and
unless the inflammation 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
inflamed condition of the mucuos sur
faces.
"We will give One Hunlred Dollars
for any case of Deafness caused by
catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's
Catarrh Cure . Send for circulars, free.
