ing I2, s, f. T are nearly two inches in- side the head. The ear drum curtains off or blocks the air from the auditory canal entering the internal ear, therefore, air can only enter sound car through the canal [B to 2l called the "Eustachian tube" which passes from the throat to the cavity of the middle ear.
 Without air in the middle ear sounds cannot be heard. Most cases of deafness are due to either swollen mucous mem branes lining the Eustaschian tubes, or catarrhal secretions called "mucus," more or less blocking up or closing the tubes and interfering with the circulation of air in the middle ear
 The chronic iniammatory process in the lining membrane of either Eustachian tube causes it to swell and In many cases actually become thickened SD as to di- minish its caliber or even close it up
 Closure may be complete or only par tial. the hardness of hearing being usrally in proportion to the degree of ob truction. Catarrh of the Eustach- ian tubes is the most frequent cause of head noises as well as of deafness.
 Nearly all head noises" are due to some interference with the circulation of air through the Eustachian tubes. Any swelling. thickening, excessive secretion, or disease of any kind that results in paartial or complete closing of these tubes may cause "tinnitus aurium." The various head noises may resemble the escape of steam. the roaring of the ocean, the ringing of bells, the singing of a tea kettle, in fact almost every conceivable sound may add materially to the existing distress, irritate and annoy during the day and prevent sleeping nights.
 It Is difficult to get local applications into the Eustaschian tubes and even if vou could they would likely do more harm than good. Local applications will not cure catarrh for it is a constitutional or systemic disease of which the diseased mucous membrane is but a manifestation.
 The rational proper and only success full treatment for cataFrh is the internal administration of searching alterative remedies that will neutralize catarrhal poisons and correct the constitutional or systemic taints. after this is accomplish d the local lesions of the mucous mem- hranes will disappear.
 The same systemic remedy that will cure catarrh in one part will just as surely cure catarrh everywhere else it may be manifest.
 A local application may drive in ar sup nress catarrh at one point only to have 1t snnear elsewhere. perhaps in a more dangerous place. but it never really cures. The catarrh shows itself else where. or reappears at the original loca- tion when the local treatment is stop ped.
 Not so where systemic remedies arc ustd With them when the disease is mastered it will stay cured.
