reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian 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 it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
