Catarrhal Deatness is caused by an in- flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube, When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness {s 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 Cure acts thru the :)loui on the mucous surfaces of the sys- em. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Circulars free. All Druggi, 76c. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O. re- | . H.
