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
infamed condition of the mucous
lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this lube Is infiamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when 1t Is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
hammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
Zine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh. which is nothing but an in
TANNED condition of the mucous
surface.
