Catarrhal Deafness Cannot be
Cured by local applications, as
they cannot reach the diseased por-
tions OF the ear. There is only
one way to cure catarrhal deaf
ness. and that ia by q constitution
al remedy. Catarrhal deafness Is
caused by an infamed condition
Of the mucous lining OF the Eus-
taehlsn Tube. When this tnbe is
inilamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. when
il 10 entirely closed, Deafners is
the result. Unless the infamma-
ton can be reduced and this tube
restored 70 its normal condition,

Many cases OF deafness are csused
by catarrh. which Ia and int1amed
