Some people inherit deafness. Acute DIS

cause of loss of hearing is catarrh of the
head and throat
A prominent specialist on ear troubles
gives as his opinion that nine out of ten
cases OF deafness is traced to throat
trouble; this is probably oVerstateo, but
it is certainly true that more than halt
of all cases of poor hearing We're caused
by catarrh-

Those who are hard of hearing may
think this little far-fetched. but any one
