us to use it forever and forbid
us ever hereafterwards to pub
lish anything inferior.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as ' they cannot
reach tho diseased portion of the sir.
There Is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an Inflamed condi
tion of the mucous linlnf of the Eusta
chian Tube. When this tubs Is Inflamed
you have a rambllns sound or imperfect
hearing', 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
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which Is nothing but an Inflamed condi
tion of the mucous surfaces.
