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 infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is inflaln-
ed you have a rurubling sound or imper
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and the
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infaned condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
