Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications as they cannot
reach he diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
aud that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con.
dition Of the mucous lining Of the u
tachian tube. When this tube gets in.
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is on.
tirely 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 caus.
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition Of the mucous sur.
faces. We will give n hundred dol.
