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 re-
needles. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucuous
lining of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its norma con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of tn emucuous
