Catarrhal Deafuess Cannot Be Cured
by local applications as they ati
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way
to cure catarrhal deafness and
that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused bv
an inflamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or imper
fect bearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result.
Unless the inflamation can be re
duced and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh,
which is an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces. Hall's Ca
tarrh Medicine acts thru the blood
on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Catarrhal
Deafness that cannot be cured by
Hall's Catarrh Medicine. Circu
lars free. All druggists, 75c.
