Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
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 infIamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian 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 destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces
