Running Ears.

Running Ears.
The amount and character of the
discharge from the ear vary widely
The younger the patient, the great
er the quantity of matter dis
charged from a diseased ear. The
discharge teens with disease
germs, often severa varieties of
disease producing germs being
present in a chronic case. The COM
mon pus producing germs are in
lvariably present In many cases
in children the cause of the middle
ear diseases is tuberculosis, and the
tubercle bacillus may be found il
1.-The discharge in the earlier weeks
of the trouble, but later on only the
pus producing germs can be iso-
lated, tine tubercle bacilli remaining
within the affected bone or mucous
membrane.
Fungi thrive on the debris of a
running ear, and the parasites i'm
part a peculiar musty, disagreeable
odor to the discharge. OF course, a
certain amount of the discharge
finds its way down the Eustachian
tube to the nose and throat. Some
times the discharge from diseased
middle ear drains wholly into the
throat and is swallowed, as often
occurs in babies and young chill
dren. Constant swallowing and
absorption OF such septic matter
gives the patient a sallow complex
ion, general weakness or malaise,
headaches, poor appetite, some
times diarrhoea.
In certain cases the ear runs
only when the patients health is
below par, and ceases to discharge
when the patient is in good condi-
ton In others, the patient gets
along fairly well for years while
the discharge continues without in
terruption; finally the discharge
suddenly decreases or almost stops,
and some serious complication de
velops, like mastoiditis, brain alb
scess, meningitis or septic sinus
thrombosis, and a difficult opera
ton may or may not save life.
II is one OF the most vicious sup
arstitions that it is a dangerous
thing to have 4 running ear treated
Running ear is a signal of danger
which remains until the trouble is
intelligently cured.
Generally slight discharge is
more to be feared than a copious
one, because it is more likely to be
neglected. /

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Hives and How to URhive En-.

L
O. Kindly tell US the cause of
hives and a good remedy for same,
external or internal. tE. 81
A The cause is protein poison
ing, which may come from so many
different sources that we cannot
list them here. Alkalies internally
are helpful, such as bottle OF
magnesium citrate solution tLiquor
Magnesii Citratis, U. S. P), or hair
teaspooDful of water every four
hours. Externally, sthe best general
application I can suggest is the
well known calamine lotion, in
which perhaps from Il per cent
to l per cent phenol is dissolved.

not enough overweight to worry
about. A girl 20 years old, 63

of fool clothes, fool beauty dope

the eyes bright and large, that is to

What This Writer Needs is Not the Recall
but Calling.

| [Socialville Corr, Hopknton tIa) Leader.l
There has been whole lot written
of late in regard to the crookedness of
Judge Cantsaw Mountain Landslide. 1t
is claimed that he neglects his judicial
duties to umpire baseball quarrels. This
may be true and is undoubtedly true, but
| why throw all the mud at Cantsaw when
there are others equally guilty. AS an
illustration We have in our midst Judge
o. W. Smith. He has been notified that
the P. M. of Socialvlle had slain rat
tlesnake and lawfully and justly demand
ed that Judge o. W. Smith should come
TO Socfalville and gather the caudal ap-
pendages of said rattlesnake and deposit
40 cents in the coin of the realm
reward to said P. NJ for bravery. But
does this careless Judge attend to this?
Not on your life. He spends his time in
riotous living and rambling around the
country looking after his insurance bus
mess and defes the government of Uncle
Sam just the same as Cantsaw does. oh!
give us the recall.
