think worthy Of mention. A Mr.. Sanborr
OF that town had blue fly get in his eal

could be got out In about a day Mr..
began to realize a disagreeable itching sens

one or two maggots. We don't suppose Mr.
Sanborn was scared at all at the discovery
but do think he will admit Of being littl,
anxious about it. DR.. Hubbard was called

acid, just strong enough to instantly kill tn
maggot and at the same time not strouI
enough to injure the drum Of the ear. Thi
solution was thrown in with an ear syrng

hundred maggots by count were killed an'
removed. Two were not got out until tn
next day, and those were considerably in
creased in size. Mr.. Sanborn is now al
right, but does not care hereafter TO be

heard Of u like operation, aud think it
fact worthy to be known both to the surgOrl
