Deafness Cannot be Cured.

reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
intlamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have
q rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
