Deafness Cannot be Cured
b~ local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear• There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in-
flamed condition of the mucous linin6 of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets mflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearlng,
and when xt m entirely closed deafness is the re-
sult, and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal condi-
tion, hearing wall be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed conditmn of the mu-
cous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannOt
be cured by Hall's Catarrh Care. Send for cir-
culars, free.
