Deafness cannotbe 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 constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition OF the mucous
lining of the Eusthachiau Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless
the inilamtion can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inAamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
