Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mu- < cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you J have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely cloded Deafness is the result, and j unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its nor- ' mal condition, hearing will be des- 1 troyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is ; nothing but an inflamed condition of ! the mucousurs faces.
