There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con- stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the lining of the Eustachian Tube, When this tube is inflamed, you have a rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the re- sult, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube res- tored to its normal condition, hear- ing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca- tarrh, which is nothing but an in- flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
