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 constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is cause by an In
famed condition of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inf1amed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, a I'd when it is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh.
which is nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

as nothing more than mythology made
potent through human associations.
Others are moved through supersti-

season with consciences crowded with
uncomfortable memories; Marley's
ghost Is after them, but, unlike
Scrooge, their new heart is only for
