In this connection there can hardly be n more

A very little stupy of anatomy viii show the
reader that the junction Of the back passag &c Of

connected with tho ear by a minute and deli,

Along this tube the catarrh process extends,

some cases slight forms of catarrh OF the mid.

deafness msy IN like manner result from the
SWOLLEN, thichened tissue encroachIug upon the
mouth of the Eustachian tube.
Partial on complete deafness may also result
from catarrhal interference with the nasal
breathing, deprlving the ear OF a proper supply

by skilled and scientific local treatment--gnd
