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
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition Of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have
rimbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result. and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition OF the mucous sur
