Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications as thev cannot reach the diseased portion ol the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deainess is caused by an inflamed condition of the raucous lining fit thh Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, anil when it is entirely closed, Utsatness is the result, and unless the inflammation can ue taken out and this tune restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrn, which is nothing but an inflamed condition ol the mucous sur faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars tor any case ol Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot ne cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

Why Use Soap if not the best Soap is not soap when it takes prizes to sell it. "Welcome's" prize is its virtue. Virtue is always pure.
