Catarrhal beainess Cannot Be Cured
' by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When thia tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Im
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Hail’s Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the bleed on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Medicine. Cir
culars free. All Druggists, 75c.

The R. W. Laundry
J. L. JONES, PROP.
R. W. stands for Regular Wash. My wash woman
gave me so much trouble, that I decided to do my
own washing, and while I was at it I knew that I
would find several more families that their regular
weekly wash was a problem to them and for their
special benefit, I amjgoing to put in a Laundry in
the old Light Plant Building near the Central Depot
and take regular washing, until I go broke, 'and if
you want a regular wash woman give me your busi
ness, so that I can stay in business.
I am figuring on being ready by the 15 th. of
June, sooner if possible. My prices are going to be
reasonable as you will see after you give me a trial,
quality and service considered.
