DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit. and unless the Inflammation can
be taken ont and this tube restored to
it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are causer by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an ATTAINED condition of
the mucous surfacer
