Pa “Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications as they cannot geach the disease portion of the ear. ‘There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Leafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the macons lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect: heariug, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surface.
