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 constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an lnflamed condition OF the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachlan tube. When
this tube Is nflamed you nave a rumbllng
sound or imperfect hearing, and when II Is
entirely closed, deafness Is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its normal con-
dltlOn, hearing will be destroyed forever !:
nine cases out OF 10 are caused by Catarrh,

who was devoted 10 his home and his
wife and daughter. When the recent
financial furry began, however. he be-
came intensely nervous and had suf-
fered from insomnia for weeks. Mrs.
Underwood was unable to shake him
out of an intense depression he showed.
Mr.. Underwood was particularly
nervous at the dinner table, and his
wife was alarmed. He suddenly pick
ed up small sharp knife, jumped to
his wife's side and slashed at her, max
ing cash from the middle of her neck
to the right ear. He then turned on
their daughter, who was recently grad
uated from Cornell, and tried to cut
her. Mrs. Underwood, despite her
wound, rushed between them and
knocked up the knife. II almost sew

All the blooL in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When heal
thy they remove about 500 grains of
impure matter daily, when unhealthy
some part of this impure matter is left
in the blood. This brings on many
diseases and symptoms-pain in the
back, headache, nervousness, hot. dry
skin, rheumatism. govt. gravel, disor-
ders of the eyesight and hearing, dig
ziness, irregular heart, debility, drow.
