Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by conSti-
~tutional remedies. Deafness IS caused by an
irfiamed condition of the mucus lining of the
EuStachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
ing, 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 destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition Of
the mucuS surfaces.
