This disease, which is the ordinary ear
ache of childhood, he said, was COM
monty neglected by physicians, although
affecting one of the most delicate and
important organs in the body. To this
neglect might be ascribed great num-
Der of the cases of incurable deafness
in later life. From the intimate con-
nection of the middle ear with the brain
in the very young severe cases often
cause cerebral symptoms. In children
too young to express themselves it is
often treated as brain disease, and the
ear allowed to become impaired. This
disease is extremely liable to accompany
all of the diseases common to childhood
