Deafnes. Can't be Cured 4

oy local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that Is by con. stitutional remedies. 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 i'm. perfect hearing. and when it Is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless tht inflammation can be taken out and this tubt restored to its normal condition, hearing vii be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ter are caused by catarrh, which Is nothing bu an inf1amed condition of the mucuous sur faces.
