al deafness, and that is by constitu-

caused by an infiamed condition of the

Tube. When this tube is inf1amed you
have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result. Unless the in
flammation can be reduced and this
tube restored to it's normal condition

the mucous surfaces OF the system.
