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 constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inflaimed condition of the
mucous lining OF the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling 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 its
normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out ol
ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is
nothing but an infiamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.

catarrh) that cannot be cured by
