DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by loeil applications as they canno
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is oalyone way to care deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused 1 y an inflamed con-
liiiou of th- lnuconsiiniu of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in-
3amo..t you hare a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing; and when it is en
tirely closed Deafness is the result and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition hearing will be destroyed
forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh which ' is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucuos sur-
faces. Wo will give One Hunlred Dollars
for any case of Deafness caused by
catarrh that cannot be cured "by Hall's
catarrh Cure. Send for circularsfree.

experience with wine of
Cardui as I am very grateful
for its help. After my first
baby was bora I could not
seem to regain my strength
although the doctor gave me
atonic which he .considered
very superior but instead of
getting better I grew weaker
every day. My husband
came home one eveniag with
some "Wine of Cardui and in
sisted that I take it for a week and sec

to have so much faith in it I did take the

am very enthusiastic in its praise."
