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. F. J. CHENEY & OO.. Toledo, O.
