Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach tbe diseased* portion of the ear. There is only one way to core deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by un irfl-imed condition of the mucous lin? ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Ss inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperiect bearing, and when it is entirely closed deifcess is the result, and unless the inrUmroition can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever ; nine cases out of ten s re caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of th* raucous surfaces We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.
