Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, ns they cannot reach the diseased portion ot the ear. Thcr- Is only one way to cure catarrhal de&fneee. and that Is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When thla tube is Inflamed you have a rumbling aound or Impel feet hearing, and when It Is entirely I closed. Deafness la the result. Unless the Inflammation can be reduced and thla 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 surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for sty case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cursd by Hall's Catarrh Medlclns. Clrcutars free. All Druggists. 75c F. J. CHENEY A CO.. Tolsdo.
