Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There la only one way to cure deafneaa, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafneaa la caused by an Inflamed 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 entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafneps (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO.. Toledo.
