DEAFNESS Cannot Be Cured

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 inf1aneo condi-
sion Of the mucous lining Of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have a. rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result. and unless the in
Illumination 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 inflamed condo
ton of the mucous surfaces.
