There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inilamed con-
dition of the mucous filming of the
eustachian tube. When this tube gets
inhamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrah, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
