Doctors Mccoy and wlldmaa Say 1t
Arises From This Disease In Four
Cases Out ofEvery Five.

This very annoying trouble results In
four cases out of every five from catarrh
which has existed some time, and slowly
extends from the throat backwards and
upwards aiong the Eustachian tubes and
thence to the middle ear. The presence
of catarrh IN the little tube leading to the
ear results In closing up the tubs by
reason of the swelling induced by the
disease. When the Eustaohlan tubes are
plugged up TO any extent deafness ensues
from inability of the air to get back OF
the drum of the ear. Unless there Is air
behind and in front of the drum hearing
becomes impaired. The only way TO re-
lieve these cases of deafness Is to euI the
catarrh first then treat the ears. In these
cases artificial drums aad all other APP
pliances are worse q al useless. Remem-
ber that deafness resulting from catarrh
rarely, II ever, gets well II left 20 itle T,
but almost invariably gradually gets
worse until total loss of hearing ret vi Is.
MAXiM--lf you have catarrh and are
deaf, first have your catairl cured, then
there will be a chance to relieve the deaf
ness.
