10y 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 inllamed condition Of the mt
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inilamed you have a rumbling
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 con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by catnrrh,
