Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubo. When this tule gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, 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 lx destroyed forever; ni'io cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inrlamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
