There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is I .,' the constitutional rem
edies. DeatneB is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When thiB tube
is inflamed you have a rumbling sound
oi imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed. Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed torevei ; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which ib nothing
out an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (cause by
catrrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circular , free.
