THE EARS AND SEA BATHING.


Concerning some Of the aural miShapS
which occur to those who indulge in sea
bathing where there is conclusion from
the surf, Popular Science News quotes DIR.
A. II. Cheadlc. He says that the common
accidents to the ear are acute inErmma-
ton of the middle ear, diffuse innamma-
ton of the external ear, the lighting up of
an acute condition in a chronic suppurat-
ing otitis media, simple deafness due to
swelling Of a ceruminous plug. Besides
this there are occasionally troubles from
diving, such as conclusion of the labyrinth
and rupture of the membrane tympani
In order to avoid these accidents, Dr.
Cheadle says that persons suffering from
middle ear discharge should never battle
AT all, and that those who have had mid
die ear discharge and whose membranes
have healed should never battle without
some efficient means for preventing the
water from entering the ears, such as firm
plugs of cotton wool with an oilskin cap
fitting tightly over them. Water remain
ing in a healthy ear should be let out as
soon as possible. Acute otitis seems to be
occasionally caused by water which has
entered the naso-pharynx; hence the nose
should be protected. Some advise that
every one who battles should introduce q
plug of cotton in the ear.

The Ugly Wart.

Those who fail to charm their warts
away by rhymes and ceremonies will find
glacial acetic acid or n saturated solution
of salicylic acid in water the best domestic
