Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as thcy cannot reach the diseased portion of the car There is only one way to cure deaf mess, and that is by constitutional re- lmedies. Deafness is caused ny an in- hamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in1amed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh which is nothing but an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
