The real organs of hearing e, g.,
are nearly two inches inside the head.
The ear drum curtains off or blocks
the air from the auditory canal enter
ing the internal ear, therefore, air can
only enter a sound ear through the
canal, (B to p. called the "Eustachlan
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 deaf
ness are due to either swollen mucous
membranes lining the Eustaschian
tubes, or catarrhal secretions called
mucous" more or less blocking up or
closing the tubes and interfering with
the circulation of air in the middle
ear.
The chronic infiammatory process in
the lining membrane of either Eusta
chan tube causes it to swell and in|
many cases actually become thickenedl
so as to diminish its caliber or event

Closure may be complete or onlyl
partial, the hardness of hearing beingl
usually in proportion to the degree oil

ian tubes is the most frequent CAUSED
of head noises as we'll as of deaf-I

Nearly all head noises" are due I'd

of air through the Eustachian tubes

distress, irritate and annoy during thu

even if you could they would Likely
do more harm than good. Local ap

is a constitutional or systemic diseas
of which the diseased mucous mem.
brane is but a manifestation.
The rational, proper and only sue
cessful treatment for catarrh is the
internal administration of searching
alternative remedies that will neutral
ize catarrhal poisons and correct the
constitutional or systemic taints. after
this is accomplished the local LESSONS
of the mucous membranes will disap
pear.
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 Or
. suppress catayrh at one point only to
have it appear elsewhere, perhaps in a
more dangerous place, but it never
really cures. The catarrh shows itself
elsewhere, or reappears at the Original
location when the local treatment is
stopped.
Not so where systemic remedies are
used. With them when the disease IS
mastered 1t will stay cured.
This is why those who have been
cured by using Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's are so enthusiastic regarding the
remedy, and why these tablets uni
formly cure catarrh in every nook and
corner of the body. cure it for keeps.

bought at any drug store for 80 cents
box. The F. A. Stuart Co. Marshall;
Mich. publish a book on catarrh and
it's cure which they will send, free and
prepaid. to all who apply for it. A
