mentioned above in the laudable work

When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound of imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed, Deaf ness is the result and unless the in- flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh. which Is nothing but an in- named condition of the mucous sur races.
