Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot n ach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness i-; caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eus tnchian Tube. When this tube is in llamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en tirely 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 for ever; nine; cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in llamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, 0.
