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
infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fiamation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition.
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused bv
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous surfa-
ces.
