only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness,
and that, is by constitutional remedy.

caused by an infiamed condition of the

When this tube is in1amed you have a
rumbling sound OF imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to its nor

something that could be used; a
younger woman. seated on what had
once been a doorstep with her face
hidden In her arms; and little boy
and girl, who stared half frightened,
half curious. at the desolation about
them The little boy held in his thin
hand a Red Cross hag. All four were
pale and gaunt; the faces and bodies
of the children showed none of the
round curves that make the beauty Of
