Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, rs they cannot
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 inhamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining OF the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube gets in-
famed you have rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing, and when il is en-.
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored 10 its normal con.
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out OF ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous surfaces.

who believe that the improvement of
