Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications they cannot reach the dis
eased portion Of the ear. There is only way to
dea fness and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is fnhamed you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing and when 1t is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result and unless the inflammation be
tion hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out Of ten are caused by Catarrb which is nothing
but an infamed condition Of the mucous surfaces.
