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
infiamed condition of the mucuous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the infiam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cas- es ont of ten are caused by Ca
