There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inHamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous sur
