Deafness Cannot ne Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition OF
the mucous lining OF the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is Unframed
you have a rumbling sound or I'M
perfect hearing. and when It is en-
tirely closed Deafness Is the result
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored 70
its normal condition, hearing Will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
OF ten are caused by Catarrh, which
IS nothing but an inflamed condi'
