the experimenter, for the day was de-
cidedly hot. 1t is needless to add that
the experiments with screw propellers
ended right there. and the engineer

DEAFNESS CANNOT Be CURED

reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustrachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed 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 it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused bq Catarrh, which is moth
