WHAT CONES OF GETTING FLIES IN THE
cara French journal contains the fol-
lowing account of singular case :
A loeksmith, aged fifty two, having been
treated at the Hospital Beaujoin for dis
Location, has been sent to the AISLE de Vim
cennes for his complete recovery. A few
days before leaving that establishment, he
felt as if fly had got into his left ear. He
took lucifer match and tried to get out
Inc intruder with it; but, not succeeding,
and the Pain having subsidized, he took no
more notice of it. Three DAYS later. being
1T st. Ouen's, he experienced a tickling in
his ear, which prevented him from sleep
ing, and on the following day he went to
DIR. JaJavay's consultation. Here. upon
examination, two small larvae, like those
winch are met in dead bodies, were found
IN his ear. The patient complained of
very violent pain in that organ, and oil
along line which, beginning from the
middle of the forehead, followed the eve
brow, and, crossing the temple, ended be-
hind the matsoid apophysis. He had
cramps end tingling sensation in the arm,
hts of trembling, sickness, e.c.
On visiting him in the evening, DR.. Jar
Jayay poured few drops of ether into his
ear. This caused great pain at first, but
soon after it produced considerable relief,
and during the night upwards of one hun
dred larvae fell out of the ear on the mans
pillow. On the following morning the
doctor perceived some large Larvae of musca
carnaric at the bottom of the meatus audi
tarius. DR.. Jariavay got few ont with
proper Instrument, then made some iujec-
tons which brought out fifteen more, and
in the evening poured drop of ether in
his ear, whereby three ore were got rid
Of On the day af .er, no more were visi-
Die; but the tympsnum was discovered to
be perforated. The case was now treated
with injections of mallows and emollient
poultices, and three days later the patient
left the hospital perfectly recovered.

ses-tor Timers ailors. Iatters Silver Platers,
Dentists, Photographers. Vulcanizers, etc Al

sulnes no coal or wood, but Petroleum only. 1t
