Deafness Cured Only by Constitutional Remedies
An old medical advertisement claims deafness cannot be cured by local applications and must be treated constitutionally. It explains that inflammation of the Eustachian tube causes deafness unless the inflammation is removed and the tube restored, with catarrh identified as a common cause. The ad offers one hundred dollars for any deafness case caused by catarrh that Hall's Catarrh Cure cannot cure and promotes Hall's Family Pills.
