appears to be a remarkable case came
under the treatment of Dr. Alfred
Skippen last Sunday morning. Charley
Decker, the 6-year-old son of Jake
Decker. has been suffering for a long
time with a chronic affection of the
ear. which at times resulted in mat
terry discharge. On Sunday morning
the little fellow was almost wild with
his ear. and his father took him to Dr.
Skippen's office for treatment Upon
examination the doctor discovered and
a couple of grubs or maggots, !
since which time eight more have been |
removed. The ear drum has been de- |

appear to have eaten away the small |
muscles attached to the little bones of |
the ear. and would very soon have |
worked their way through and into the |
brain. DR.. Skippen thinks the maggots
are the results of a fly which deposited /
its eggs while the child slept.
