Deafness Cannot be cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining Of the eustachian tnbe. When
this tube gets inf1amed you have a
rumbling 30 ind or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
Illumination 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 il .
famed condition of the mucous sur

"Well, don't care who she is, whether she's your wife or mother, she'll go up to mail-box just as if it was an internal machine, look all around, and drop that letter in as if she wouldn't have anybody see her for the world. That's why some man will always step up and offer to help her; he thinks she wants assistance. It's the same If woman hands letter to n postman-she acts as if she hates to have it go out of her hands,"
