How Deafness Is Cured.
What a lesson this should be to every
one having ear disease, OF eaTache! A
lesson which practice and experience
show mos plainly, namely, that in all
painful affections CT the ear heat applied

most instant relief u such painful affec-
tons. IL is needless To say that any dis
ease of the inner parts or the ear inter
feres with the hearing and in time pro-
duces deafness. Nearly all cases or deaf
Ness result from disease blocking up the
tubes that lead from the throat or the
disease interfering with the drum Of the
middle ear. When. from any cause, air is

gradually are lost altogether. With this
there are often heard annoying sounds as
or steam escaping. CT or bells ringing. or
or water falling, which fTTitate and annoy
during the day time and prevent sleeping
at night. Such sensitive structure as
the ear, guarded as carefully as nature

could guard il against accident and dis
ease, is still quite subject to disease which
show that one person out of every three
is more or less deaf as the result or acct
dent or disease. The closure by disease Of
the tube which leads from the throat to
the middle ear is what produces nearly all
cases OF deafness, and the reason why 50
many remain deaf has resulted from the
inability To reach the disease in the deep
parts of the head with anything that

the doctors have tried in vain to accom-

has been that the treatment, instead OF
doing good, has caused them TO grow
worse, and has increased the deafness.
How the Cure 1 5 Accomplished.
All this talk about the ear, while very
interesting and Instructive. would amount
to but little did it not tell that there has
been found a way at last OF removing the
cause OF lost hearing and or restoring in
the majority OF cases the lost sense OF
