The use Of wax in the ears, which people
think SO very troublesome, is of the highes,
importance. It keeps the passage to the drum
of the ear moist, and is, besides, deadly
poison to insects, and its presence in the
ear effectually protects the ear from their IN
cursion. 1t sometimes aceumulates and be-
comes hard, causing partial deafness, but a
lttle warm castor oil, mixed with spirits,
will remedy that, or an injection Of suds.
