Nose or Throat
Infection
By DIR. MORRIS FlSHBElN

Medical Association and Of Hygeia,

By DIR. MORRIS FlSHBElN

Medical Association and of Hygeia,

When there is an injection Of the
nose or throat the bacteria some
times get into the ear behind the
ear drum through the eustachian
tubes, the passages leading from the
mouth and nose cavities into the
ear. Therefore many infections Of
the ear may be prevented by properly
cleansing infected noses and threats
with mildly antiseptic and alkaline
sprays and washes.
Emphasis must be placed on the
word properly" because such washes
as generally applied force fluid,
pus and bacteria into the ear. These
nasal douches should never be taken
with any but the most gentle pres
sure, perhaps slightly snuffling the
warm, alkaline flnid into the nose.
Diagnose Early
The early diagnosis of infection Of
the ear is important if inflammation
Of the mastoid bone, behind the ear
| and contiguous t. the brain is to be
prevented. The ears should always
be examined if child is i'll and has
fever. The baby may not complain
| Of pain in the ear but in the abdo-
men or elsewhere, yet when the ply
stefan examines the ear drum it is
found to be bullying and tender.
| The presence Of fever, bullying
drum and the symptoms mentioned
is sufficient reason for the physician
to incise the ear drum to save the
hearing of the child and to prevent
bun rowing Of the infected pus into
the mastoid region.
When the diagnosis and the proper
treatment Of an infected ear are de-
layed, the results are likely to b.
extremely serious. In period Of 81,
and one-half years, 800 persons will
mastoiditis were operated on IN tn,
infirmary at Leeds, England.
Death Rate High
In one hundred and forty-sevel
of these cases there were such com
plications as abscess Of the brair

to see great fighter in Tunney,
"Some day he'll be able to whip both
Dempsey and the Freq in the same

Bagley.
Stock Took Tumble
What happened was n terrible
blow to Bagley's hopes for nation

off had destroyed his foot work and
