Deafness Cannot be Cured 1 By local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portions of the , ear. There is only one way to cure , deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused bv inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound of imperfect hearing, and when . it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the iuflamation can be taken out and these tubes restored to its normal condition, hearing will lie destroyed forever; nine cases out' of ten are caused by catarrh, which is ! nothing but inflamed condition of the the mucous surfaces. We will give. One Hundred Dollars for any case of , deafness (caused by Catarrh) that can ! not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. Chen ney & Co., Toledo. O.
