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. and that is by consti-
~tutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when II 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 infamed condition of
the mucus surfaces.

shipping tag and tied it to the horns
of the goat. Then he presented the
animal at the Office of the stOck-car

interest among the stOckmen, n
tbev sent for the manager o. the
