Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of
the mucous lining Of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is iufamed
you have a rumbllng sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
it's normal condition, hearing. will
be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness

time appetite and assimilation become
normal, the man has taken on an abnor-
nal amount of flesh. Then his appetite
and his power Of assimilation continue
good and the fat does not diminish.
Tobacco produces disturbance Of the
stomach. Saliva, needed in digesting food,
is dissipated. The stomach and intestines
are irritated, but they are not stimulated
to digestionS as many persons think. The
tissues dry up. Appetite is lost.
Those digestive fluids that convert
starch into glucose are lost The bile
saponifies. There is more free bile than
there would be- You will notice that
all smokers look sallow, though not
jaundiced. Free bile, absorbed in the It's
sues, causes this. Sudden stopping of the
use OF tobacco causes sudden changes
from one abnormal to another abnormal
condition. But the change is temporary.
Men of spare habit do not get fat as
result of not smoking. But those who
tend toward stoutness will take on mus
cles and flesh. A certain amount of exer-
else will restore normal proportions. A
punching bag for the upper body and
walking for the lower body make a de-
sirable combination.
Inc lat OF the REFORMED smoker IS not
like the fat of the beer drinker. The beer
drinkers fat is part bloat from gases. but
mostly dropsical. Let man fatted with
beer be taken with pneumonia, and death
is certain. He has no power Of resistance.
Alcohol Is no more a stinlulant than to-
bacco. 1t is an irritant. It finally in
flames. 1t Is this Inflammation Of the
kidneys that makes the beer drinlzer fat.
The kidneys do not do their work. Water
gets into the tissues. A beer drinker
can get in shape if he will abandon beer.
By exercising he can work the water out
Of the tissues, when it will become a
lubricant for the digestive channels.
The reason a man who has only partly
quit smoking is nauseated when in the
presence of persons smoking is that his
stomach, through his partial change in
habits. Is in a more than usually dis
turbed condition.

my heart bounded back and forth. back
