by locPl applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion ofthe ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lining of
the EustachiRn Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the infiam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever. Nine cases out Of ten
are caused by catRrrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
