Che-
The fact that most diseases arise from
an impure or low couditiouof the blood,
is fully proven by Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
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. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed condition
of the mneous lining of l he Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed yon
have a rumbling eonnd or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the resnlt, and unless the
inflammation can be taken oat and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing, will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out ot ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing bat an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (earned by catarrh)
that cannot be cored by Hall’s Catarrh
Care. Send for circulars, free.
