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 10y
constitutional remedies. Deafness
Is caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chian Tube. When this tube gets
infiamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect heating, and
when IL is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
'aused by catarrh, which is nothing
'ut an inflamed condition of the
mucous sufaces.

d by catarrh) that cannot be ecured
