Dealness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, ns they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the car.
There is only cue way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused b> an inllamed condi
tion of tlie mucous lining of the Eusta
chian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearifcg, and when it is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing: will be destroyed forever; nine
eases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothin? but an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous surfaces.
