From the Medical Record.
In certain affections Of the throat, such as
acute pharyngitis, cata-rh Of the eustachian
tube with pain in the car, u Swiss confrsre says
that he obtains excellent results from making
the patients yawn several times day. 1t pro-
duces. 1t seems, almost instantaneous relief: the
symptoms rapidly subside and the earache dis
appears. Frequently the affection is cut short
by this novel treatment. Yawning produces,
as every one knows. considerable distention
Of the muscles Of the pharynx, constituting a
kind Of massage, and under this influence the
cartillaginous portion Of the erstachian tube
contracts, eIpeiling into the pharynx the
mucosities there collected. According to NJ.
Naegeli, yawning il much more eHicecious for
affection OF the tube than the methods Of
Valsalva or Pclitzer, and is more rational than
tho insufaation Of air, which is often difficult
to perform properly.
