Deafness Cannot BE Cured

By local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure Deafness, and that is by CON
stitution2l remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infained condition of the mucous lining Of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
infamed you have rumbling sound or im-
perfect hearing, and when il is entirely closed
Deafness is the result. and unless the inhama-
ton can be taken ont and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in-
famed condition Of the mucous surfaces.
