CARE OF THE EARS.

Never wear cotton in the ears II they
are discharging pus.
Never put anything into the ear for
the relief of toothache.
Never attempt to apply poultice to
the inside of the canal of the ear.
Never drop anything into the ear
until it has been previously warmed.
Never use anything but syringe
and warm water for clearing the ears
of pus.
Never strike nor box child's ears;
this has been known to rupture the
drumhead and cause incurable deaf
ness.
Never wet the hair if you have any
tendency to deafness; wear an oiled
silk cap when bathing and refrain
from diving.
Never scratch the ears with any
thing but the finger if they itch. Do
not use the head Of pin, hairpin, pen
Gil tips or anything Of that nature.
Never let the feet become cold and
damp nor sit with the back toward the
window, as these things tend to aggra-
vate any existing hardness Of hearing
Never put milk, fat or any oily sub
stance into the ear for the relief of
pain, for they soon become rancid and
tend to excite inflammation. Simple
warm water will answer the purpose
better than anything else.
Never be alarmed il a living insect
enters the ear. Pouring warm water
into the canal will drown IL, when it
will generally come to the surface and
can be easily removed with the fingers
A few puffs of tobacco smoke blown
into the ear will stupefy the insect

with rife and revolver bullets. This
was excitement enough, but when
