Treatment of Running Ear.

The doctor was examining a youths
running ear and considering what to
do about it. The ear had been running
quite regularly for four years, since
an attack of scarlet fever. The lad
had faithfully tried out the sovereign
remedy of numerous kind neighbors,
''outgrowing it," but it was no good.
He had grown fast enough. yet he just
couldn't outrun the ear He had also
got by two or three old time doctors
who had suggested that it might be
just as well not to NEEDLE with such
a thing. Some of the old doctors are
so nice and tactful that they can
stretch a point any time in order to
defer to the fixed concepts of the laity.
The doctor recorded the degree of
deafness in the affected ear. the granu-
lation tissue or polyps he found in the
middle ear cavity, the extent of carries
or decay of the bones inside the drum,
the state of the perforation in the
drum and the extent to which the

New Tailored Frocks and Jackets
BY MARY MARSHALL.

practically every dressmaker of note
shows 1t in some way or other. Orten
1t is part of a two-piece ensemble con-
sisting of a simple one-piece frock
made with straight line pleated or
pannelled skirt and a short jacket OF
contrasting color. Again there IS
jacket, skirt and overblouse of some
sort. but usually the jacket is made
in contrast to the skirt. Ii the ma
terial is the same then the color
differs, or if the color is the same
then the material is different.
A jumper frock of gray kasha had
a short boyish coat of dark blue
suede. The coat was lined with the
gray kasha and had cuff links OF
gray pearl. A yellow kasha frock
stitched with black with pleated skirt
has a little jacket of black duvetyn
lined with yellow kasha The hat
worn with this frock is of yellow
felt banded with black.
A white serge skirt and white SILK
overblouse has a red velvet jacket
and is worn with an alfred feit nat.
A black silk frock with landings OF
blue silk crepe has jacket OF
blue. A navy reps jacket with silver
link buttons is worn over piaid
taffeta frock with deep hem.
II is quite possible to get a good
looking separate tailored jacket.
Those of black or soft-colored vel
vet have been in demand for resort
wear this Winter But when this is
done care should be taken to link 1t
up In some definite way with the
costume, repeating the color of the
jacket in the frock by means of col
ored stitching or other trimming and
when possible with simple little felt
hat to match. 1t is a distinct misfa r."
to regard these little separate tailored
Jackets as useful little wraps 10 tic
slipped on when needed over any
frock, with any sort of hat.

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE
BY WILLIAM BRADY, Nj. ID.

mastoid cells behind the ear were al
ready involved in suppuration or puru-
lent Inflammation.
In the majority of cases of running
ear when the discharge is very profuse
the mastoid cells are infected.
When an ear has been running a
year or more it is time to think or
surgical Intervention.
Well, let that idea simmer. The doc.
tor does not wish to alarm the patient
needlessly, nor does he want to let
the patient drift along to a serious or
perhaps fatal mastoiditis or menin-
gifts, complications which sooner or
later happen in enough cases OF
chronic running ear to command con-
sideration in every case.
The doctor in this case gives the
ear cavity a thorough irrigation. He
investigates the state of the rear
nasal passage and the eustachian
tube, the natural ventilating and
drainage channel of the ear cavity.
He instructs the patient to save the
cotton and keep no plugs in the ear
canal; if the discharge is so profuse as
to require a dressing to absorb 1t.
insert nothing in the canal, but keep
loose bit of absorbent cotton in the
outer pocket of the ear and change it
frequently in order not to interfere
with ventilation through the outer ear
canal. Plugging a running ear Is one
good way to keep it running. Probably
a good many cases of chronic running
ear would spontaneously clear up if
the victim did not keep the ear so
carefully plugged, mainly because he
fears he may take more cold' in it.
The doctor instructed the young
man to report for treatment three
times a week. He gave him a solu-
ton of 10 grains of boric acid in an
ounce of alcohol. with instructions to
put several drops in the ear three
times day.
This or per cent alcoholic solu-
ton of boric acid has earned some
little reputation as remedy for
chronic running ear. OF course, it
cannot have much effect when there is
bone necrosis, which demands radical
surgical treatment, but some cases of
chronic running ear do clear up after
the use of the drops for a few weeks.
In some cases the alcohol alone is
sufficient, by virtue of it's drying and
antiseptic action. The addition of the
boric acid prolongs the antiseptic
effect.
