Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
0y local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
Catarrhal Deafness requires constitu¬
tional treatment. HALL'S CATARRH
MEDICINE is a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in¬
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire¬
ly closed Deafnes i is the result. Unless
the inflammation can be reduced, your
hearing may be destroyed forever.
HALL'S CATARRH MEDICINE acts
through the blood on the mucous sur¬
faces of the system, thus reducing the in¬
flammation and restoring normal condi¬
tions.
