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
aud that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con

tachian Tube. When this tube gets IN
famed you have rumbling sound or
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 to is normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inilamed condition Of the mucous sur
