Daafness Oannot Be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot reach

only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and un-
less 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 infiamed condition of the
