TAKE CARE OF THE EAR.
substance of an Important Paper
Read Before State Doctors.

Pittsburg, May 20.-The feature of
tonight's meeting of the State Medical
society was the reading of a paper by
DR.. Louis j. Lautenbach, of Philadel-
phia, on THE Necessity for Active Not
Passive, Ear Treatment in Ear Dis
eases" The speaker laid special stress
upon the contention that by paying
close attention to the ear chronic cases
can often be materially improved and
relieved, advocating that upon the first
evidence of any ear trouble it should
be thoroughly examined and if the ply
sician feels himself incompetent to take
charge of the case he should refer it to
some one whom he knows will do JUS
tice to it.
What he protested against most
strongly is the neglect of the family
physician to give proper weight to the
symptoms of ear disease in their in
cipiency when a thorough treatment
would dissipate the pathological con-
dition. The address was received with
much attention.
