Deafness Cannot be Cured

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 inhamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the eustach.

YOU have a rumbing sound or imperfect
hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
