Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, us they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that Is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness Is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. Wuen this tube if
Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im
perfect hearing, and when It Is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result. Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to Its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an Inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine. Cir
