MEDICAL ADVICE AS TO PIEECISo THE EAR ron
oRNAMENTs.
From Medical Classics
There Is a custom. a relic Of savage life. by
which the women of our day seek TO add at
traction to their beauty--the piercing of the
lobe of the ear ana wearing i'm the hole some
form of ornament-an earring. This opera
ton is performed. az a rule. soon as a little
miss has arrived at the age of accountability,
and it is relegated TO the hands of artisans
jewelers.. A piece Of flesh il punched out of
the lobe, SO that a small canal remains; piece
of string. a straw, or anything convenient that
will go through. covered perhaps by grease or
vaseline, is pushed into the hole. The little
girl goes around for a week or two with a dirty
and looks ugly, but, never mind, it viii add TO
her beauty in the end. The wound may be-
come very much inflamed. 30 that an abscess
of the lobe may take place, and when
this is cured the ear may be disfgured for
life. The lobe may be shrunken in conse-
quence or the hole may be too large. This,
perhaps, does not happen very frequently,
but it nevertheless happens and the work has
to be repaired, IL possible, by the surgeon. II
is pity that this operation cannot be rele-
gated to surgery. Surgeons operate daily for
cosmetic effects; why may they not do this?
1t would be proph4lsxis rather than cure.
Some women W. knsist upon wearing heavy
pendant earrings. These, by their weight,
will enlarge the hole and make the lobe un-
slightly. The surgeons knife has also been re
quired to remedy this evil These pendant
earrings are very apt 70 catch in drapery. In
this way the lobe may be torn through. Such
accidents have been known 70 happen. 1t Is
gratifying 10 know that pendant earrings are
less frequently worn now than formerly. The
concensus of opinion seems to be in favor Of
those that lie ciose 10 the ear, that do not hang
