Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local apQllcatlotia m they cannot reach the dla
eased portion of the ear There is only one way to
cure deafness and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness Is caused by an Inflamed condition of the
mucous Itnlnic of tbs Eustachian Tube When this
tube Is tn flamed you have a rumbling sound or Im-
perfect bearing and when ft Is entirely closed Deaf-
ness Is the result and unless tbe Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condi-
tion hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh which Is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces

When shown positive and reliable proof that a certain
remedy had cured numerous cases of female ills wouldn't
any sensible woman conclude that the same remedy would
also benefit her if suffering with the same trouble ?
Here are two letters which prove the efficiency of Lydia
E Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
Red Banks Miss — “Words are Inadequate to express what
Lydia E Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has done for me I
suffered from a female disease and weakness which the doc-
tors said was caused by a fibroid tumor and I commenced to
think there was no help for me Lydia E Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound made me a well woman after all other means had
failed My friends are all asking wliat has helped me so mueb
and I gladly recommend Lydia E Pinkham’s Vegetable Com-
pound” — Mrs Willie Edwards
Hampstead Maryland—" Before taking Lydia E Plnkham's-
Vegetable Compound I was weak and nervous and could not
be on my feet half a day without suffering The doctors told
me 1 never would be well without an operation hut Lydia E
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound lias done more for me than all
the doctors and I hope this valuable medicine may come into
the hands of many more suffering women”— Mrs Joseph H
Dandy
We will pay a handsome reward to any person who will
prove to us that these letters are not genuine and truthful
— or that either of these women were paid in any way for
their testimonials or that the letters are published without
their permission or that the original letter from each did
not come to us entirely unsolicited
What more proof can any one ask ?

Compound has been the standard remedy for
female ills No sick woman does justice to
herself who will not try this famons medicine
