Catarrhal Deafness Cured by Constitutional Remedy
Catarrhal deafness cannot be cured by local applications as they do not reach the diseased ear portion. The only proven cure is a constitutional remedy like Hall's Catarrh Cure which acts through the blood to the mucous surfaces. A reward offers one hundred dollars for an incurable case not helped by the remedy.
