Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catar
rhal deafness, and that is by a con
stitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed. Deafness is the result,
unless the inflammation can be re
duced and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever. Many cases of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh, which is
an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. Hall’s Catarrh Medicine
acts thru the blood on the mucous
surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Catarrhal Deaf
ness that cannot be cured by Hall’s >
Catarrh Medicine. Circulars free.
