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, consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Tustachian Tube When this tube gets inflanl-
ed you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing and when it Is entirely closed Deafness
is the Result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
