CAUSES OF EARACHE
AND A SIMPLE REMEDY

From the Chicago Examiner.
Pain in the ear. or earache. is in most
cases caused by an Inflammation of the
aural structures, either acute or chronic.
The ear is divided iEto three parts:
first, the outer or external portion-which
every one is familiar with: second, the
intermediate division. or the middle ear.
and third, the inner chamber. or internal
ear. The external ear is made up Of the
auricie and the outer opening of the audi
tory canal. and serves the purpose OF col
Iecting and carrying sounds to the mid
die and internal ear.
The middle ear is small, irregular
cavity situated at the end of the exter-
nal tube, and between it and the inter-
nal ear Stretched over the outer opening
of this cavity is the ''tympanic MEM
brane" or drum.
The internal ear is that part which
really perceives the sounds. and is COM
posed Of a bony and membranous divi-
sion together with the auditory nerve
and its branches.
An earache is the effort upon the part
Of the body to call our attention to either
an infection Of the outer ear, the drum.
or the structures within. The outer ear
and external canal are often irritated or
attacked by skin diseases. such as ecze-
ma: or the inner part Of the canal be-
comes excoriated from scratching 1t with
the finger nail, hair pins. match sticks,
&C., leading to the formation of a small
boil-like swelling. or furunucle, and much
pain.
Foreign bodies are often inserted into
the ear. such as beads, shoe buttons.
pieces Of cottons, paper. &c. Children do
this very frequently and as result
suffer from temporary or prolonged car
ache, with diminution of hearing. Such
cases should be treated by Swinging or
douching the ear with warm water and
a rubber-tipped syringe. No other at
tempts should be made II the object Is
not removed by the water, as it Is dan
gerous to- put anything into the ear. Con-
suit Q physician at once. who will employ

The Right Hand Glove.
From the PHILADELPHIA Stay.

From the Philadelphia Stay.
1t is not generally known that King
Georges custom of appearing with his
right hand Sioved and the other bare
has its origin in something more than
a mere whim of fashion. The wearing
OF a glove on the right hand by a mon
arch is a distinct survival of the days
when the sovereign's touch was held to
be certain cure for all kinds of diseases,
especially scrofula
In the days when at certain dates if
was customary for hundreds of sick men
and mendicants of all kinds to be laid
out in the courtyard of royal palaces
awaiting the healing touch of the
"anointed of the Lord" monarchs found
it necessary to wear a glove in order to
escape infection. Thus arose the habit
which during modern times has passed in
to a mere fad of fashion, the significance
of which has long been forgotten by the
majority Of people.

ward because of fluid and the products of
suppuration which collect behind it The
chief symptom is sharp. cutting or shoot
ing pain in the ear. often extending
downward into the neck or upward into
the head. and becoming worse at night.
Fever is usually present, and the head
feels heavy and full. with deafness and a
buzzing or roaring noise in the ears. The
collected matter behind the drum in
creases. and after a period varying from
a few hours to day or two. 1t breaks
through and discharges externally. Relief
follows from the decrease in tension of
the drum. and the symptoms become less
severe. The discharge may last for a
few days or weeks. or become chronic,
causing the running ears so often seen
among children, who become greatly
weakened.
In seeking to relieve an earache avoid
first of all the use Of hot drops Of oily
substances: hot sweet oil is a favorite
household remedy and is the cause of
much subsequent trouble. 1t helps tenn
porarily simply beEause of its heat and
later. upon cooling, forms a thick decom-
posing mass upon the drum which pre-
disposes to secondary Inflammation. Do
not drop any form of medicine in the
ear. especially the extensively adver-
tised ''earache cures" Remain at rest
in the house. out Of all cold and damp
ness, and restrict yourself to q light
diet. Syringe or douche the ear every
one. two, or three hours with a warm
solution of the formula given below.
Use syringe with a rubber tip. and do
not force 1t far within the canal-a foun-
tain syringe at moderate elevation
will answer very well. Apply heat by
means of hot hannels. a hot Water bag or
bot bottles. II relief does not follow
within a reasonable time, see a phyxi-
clan. who will probably employ the neces-
sary measures to promote more free
discharge.
In Swinging the ears, It Is very import
ant to have all solutions warm. and alao
bear in mind that great force Is not only
unnecessary but dangerous-only suf-
fcient to gently cause the liquid to hoW

She was also a sincere advocate Of the
abolition idea. and another movement in
which she participated was that of the
Peace Society. an organization of which
she was an active member until the close
of her life. She was nearly eighty-seven
years of age when she died. on Novem-
ber II, 1850. and she retained, to the end,
her mental and physical powers.
To extreme benevolcnce and kindness
of heart she united remarkable intel
lectual gifts and a rare sweetness of dis
position. She denied herself many of the
comforts that belonged to her station in
life in order that she might BE- able TO
extend her charities. Her eloquence and
the vigor of her writings are memorable.
A humanitarian by instinct as well as
by training, Lucretia Mott threw her
whole soul into every cause that looked
to the emancipation of MEN from any
kind of slavery. DESPITE the many dis
couragementS thrown about her, her
heart and mind were made up to change
never. and nothing short of Omnipotence
could stop her.
At the ever-memorablc convention at
Senaca Falls, n. Y. when the new faith
of "Woman's Rights was launched by
number of progressive women. to Lu-
cretia Mott. more than to any one else,
belongs the honor and glory of it ali.
But her mind and her action was not
Centered entirely about reforms of that
character. She was never 4 fanatic. Her
efforts were directed in many directions.
All that promised to free her fellow-man
from ignorance and tradition was given
her most hearty support. To the end OF
her life she was deeply Interested in tie
great movement for temperance, and not
until death closed her eyes did she cease
to work and pray for the physical and
moral uplift of the humanity she so
dearly loved.
Lucretia Mott lived to see the causes
for which she had so ardently iabored.
