oy local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infiamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets lniamed you have a rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing. and when 1t 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 infiamed condition of the mucuous sur faces.
