DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications as they cannot r.eacb
the diseased portion ot the ear. There
is only one way to cure deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by im inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed, Deafness is the result, and un
less the inflamation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh which is nothing but an inflampd
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafnesa (nnnswvl hv
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hairs
