Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, ds they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure ca tarralhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflanied condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or , imperfect hearing, andl when It is entirely closed, Deafness is the re sule. Unless the inflammation can be redluced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing wvill be dlestroyedl forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mu cous surfaces. Hall's Catnrrh Medi.. cine acts thru the blood on the mu cous surfaces of the system, We will give One hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be curedl by Hall's Ca tarrh Medicine.
