EAR DRUMS AND DROWNING.
Why Good Swimmers May Meet Sud
den Death In the Water.

Sudden death OF swimmers has new
err been explained satisfactorily, but 1t
IS generally assumed that it Is due TO
cramps that affect the respiratory mus
cles. The Medical Record says there
IL another theory that "has never re
ceived the attention which it merits"
This IS that cold water penetrating the
ear sets up an irritation in the delicate
passages of the inner ear. 1t cites an
address delivered by DR. Guettich be
fore the Berlin biological society, in
which he revived this theory.
The irritation of the labyrinth of the
inner ear by cold water might cause
sudden paralysis, Just as a shock to 1t
through a sharp blow on the chin Will
cause knockout" The symptoms of
the swimmer and the fighter are sim
liar They can make motions, but can
not direct them; they may become tenn
porarily unconscious. In the case OF
the swimmer, of course. drowning fol-
lows unless some one helps him.
The Medical Record says that persons
with perforated ear drums are those
chiefly menaced by this accident, al
though 1t may occur to others. And
this In spite Of the fact that children
with large perforations of the ear drum
often swim and dive with impunity.
