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 hat is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube le
infiamed you have a rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result
and unless the inflammation can be TAX
en- out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ter
are caused by Catarrh, which is no
thing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
