Deafness Is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infiamed you have a rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing. and when 1t is entirely 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 infiamed condition of the mucuous sur- faces.
