Deafness canuot ne Cured

by local applications, they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is iniamed 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 its normal condi-
ton, 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.
