THE EAR,

10 attempts to clean the ear it's delicat,
structure is often seriously Injured. Care
ful experiment goes to show that the pas
sage does not require cleaning at all. The
Popular Science Monthly says:
mature undertakes that task, and in the
healthy state fulfils it perfectly. HeI
means for cleaning the ear is the wax.
Perhaps the reader has never wondered
what becomes of the ear wax. l will tell
him. 1t dries up into thin fine scales, and
these peel off, one by one, from the sur
face of the passage, and fall out impercep-
tibly, leaving behind them a perfectly
clean, smooth surface. In health the pas .
sage of the ear is never dirty but, if we
attempt to clean it, we infalIibly make it
40. Hereby q strange lack of justice, as
it would seem, which, however, has no
doubt deep justice at the bottom-the
best people, those who love cleanliness,
suffer most, and good and careful nurses
do a mischief negligent ones avoid.
Washing the ear out with soap and water
is bad it keeps the wax moist when it
ought to become dry and scaly, in
creases it's quantity unduly, and makes it
absorb the duet with which the air always
abounds. But the most hurtful thing is
introducing the corner of the towel,
screwed up and twisting it around. This
does more harm to the ears than all the
other mistakes together. It drives down
the wax upon the membrane much more
doubts this make tube like the passage,
especially with the curves which it pos
sesses; let him put a thin membrane at
one end, smear the surface with sub
stance like the ear wax, and then try to
