Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the e;ir. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con- i

an intlamed condition of. the mucous lining of
the hustachian Tube. When this tube is In-flamed
you have a rumbling1 sound or imper-fect
hearing, ami when it is entirely closed.
deafness is the result, and unless the inflam-mation
can be taken out and this tulie re-stored
to its normal condition, hearing will j
