There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
ditiOn of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition., hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
