Deafness Cannot be Cured
as they cannot reaoh the
portion of the ear. There is only one
way to oure deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of tne

ed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation can
he taken out and this tube restored to its nor
mal condition, hearing will be destroyed forev
er, nine oases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
whioh is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mueous surfaces. -
Wo will give One Hundred Dollars for any
oaso of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Oure. Sohdfor
