Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the car. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies, Deafness is
caused by an inilamed condition of
the mucous lining of tho Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have u rumbliDg
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t Is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflam-
nation "a be taken out and this
tube restored to It's normal condit-
ion, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh which is nothing
but IN inflamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces.
