Natures Protection For the Ear.
The membrane lining the canal Of the
ear contains a great number Of little
glands which secrete a waXy substance
having an intensely bitter taste. The
purpose of this is to prevent the en-
trance Of insects and to keep the ear
clean, as the layer Of wax dries in
scales, which rapidly fall away, thus
removing with them any particle Of
dust or other foreign matters which
may have found entrance to the ear.
