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 mucous lin
ing of the eustachian tube. When
this tube is inffamed you have rum
bling 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 re-
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an infamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
