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 constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in

Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and 1t when is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the Inflammation

normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out OF ten are caused by

but who would flee at the sight of one
or even nj the sound OF the click caus-
ed by closing the breech. To cure him

TO belt around my waist and used to
fire continually at small birds. Occa-
sionally ! let him chase rabbit, shot
1t as close In front Of his nose as l
dared and then let him pick 1t up.
This was of course teaching him bad
manners. but to cure him Of running In
was an easier matter than breaking
him Of being gun shy. After a month
or two Of this sort Of thing-and It very
often meant dragging him out by main
force-he began to understand that the
gun was quite harmless to himself and
that there was fun to be had some
