Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
thediseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infamed 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 condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an intiamed condition of the mucous sur
