The suggestion comes from Director
Ralph of the bureau OF printing anu

Deafness Cannot be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by All indamed con-
often of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in.
