The Last Great European War.


History repeats itself-but with vari-
atoms. A hundred years ago France
alone. under the leadership of Napo-
leon, faced Germany. Austria. Italy,
Russia and Great Britain and won.
At thirty-six Napoleon had conquered
every nation OF Europe. and in the bat
tie of Austerlitz in 1906 practically
brought the continent under the sub
lection of the French army. Then
Austria, Germany and Russia formed
the great coalition against France, only
to be beaten in battle after battle until
they were forced to sue for peace.
England, thanks to her impregnable
navy, was the only nation not forced
to acknowledge Napoleon's rule. 1t
was the snow covered steppes of Russia
rather than the military science of Eu-
rope that finally turned the tide against
him.
The present European crisis gives .
particular opportuneness to the offer
of Napoleon's Memoirs, announcement
of which is made in another column of
this paper. Few books throw more
Illuminating and interesting light on
the underlying causes Of those years of
conflict than the fascinating story of
the man whose meteoric career left
Europe sown with the seeds of discon-
tent.
Eventually said Napoleon, RUS
STA will rule the world" The present
conflict will 60 far towards determining
the truth of that prophecy. and day by
day it will furnish an absorbing illus
tration of the advance which has been
made in the art of warfare since the
days, only century ago, when France
alone had Europe at her feet.
Napoleon's Memoirs, written by his
private secretary, Baron De Menevsl,
will give you clearer insight into that
tremendous upheaval Of Europe which
the present crisis seems destined to
reproduce.

How the Nerves and Blood Supply
of the Ears May Be Stimulated
and Massaged by Exercising
the Same Muscles That
Make Queer Grin1aces

nastics are due primarily to the
stimulation of the nutritive supply
of the various parts. This helps 30
repair the ravages caused by disease
and to keep the organ in an invigor
ated condition.
Very often deafness is due to func-
tional inertia and to the atrophy
which follows the condition. These
cases have a progressive character,
which is a necessary consequence of
the functional inertia. If only one
ear is affected the subject instructive
ly uses only his good ear and the
other ear atrophies from lack of use
If the two ears are equally affected,
the inertia is less, but none the less
it exists because the sufferer tends
to isolate himself from the world,
thus increasing his infirmity. Ora
gymnastics would correct both these
classes of cases.
| will now give a detailed descrip-
tion of the exercises. They are di-
vided into three series, exercising
successfully the muscles of the skull,
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-02-15

of times deliberately and without
violent effort. The patient should
endeavor to make them stronger as
he proceeds and should bear in mind
that he must try to make them reach
the ear. When he has become thor
oughly trained he will feel the con
fractions most distinctly in the ear
The second series which is even
more important, consists in eXercis-
ing the muscles of the skull and the
external ear BY Il reasonable amount
of perseverance any man can sue
coed in producing cOntractions of
these muscles which will be evident
to the eye. If the scalp muscles at
first seem immOvable and as if sol
dered to the scalp, make ii more
supple by maSsaging it at the begin
ming of each exercise. Contract the
forehead muscle, then the occipital
muscle Chat of the top of the scalp
separately, and then both together.
so as to produce flowing backward
and forward motion of all the mus
Giles of the upper part of the skull.
After this the patient combines the
contractions of the occipital and the
frontal muscles with those of the pos
terror, superior and anterior attach
ment muscles of the ear, which
should be quite easy to do because of
the connection between the latter
and those of the skull. During these
contractions we can see a movement
not very extensive but evident, of
the whole external ear. During this
exercise the patient must endeavor
to extend the movement as far as
possible into the external ear open
ing, aiming to reach the bottom of
this opening. This is how functional
activity is impaired to the little
bones in the ear and to the drum it
self.
The third and last series consists
of exercises to contract the muscles
of the Eustachian tube. These exer-
cises are the most difficult of ALL
The patient can perform them by
making a movement as if to swallow
food, we'll at the back of the nasal
cavity accompanied by the stimuli
taneous contraction of the superior
constructor muscle of the pharynX
ttop of the throat and the muscles
of the soft palate. In the effort at
swallowing the back part of the
tongue participates naturally.
1t is raised up at the same time
as the soft palate. You should feel
all these parts move at the same time
through the close bond that joins
them.
To strengthen the Eustachian tube.
the patient should also practise
breathing in with a snorting noise,
keeping his mouth closed.
Oral gymnastics should be per
formed slowly, leaving between the
various exercises sufficient time TO
avoid the fatigue which haste would
surely entail. 1t is advisable TO per
