 Ear specialist informs me thet for twenty years he has been curing coughs, deafness and head noises by washing out the ears - to remove plugs or AccumulatlotiS Of hardened car wax. Tn fact nearly every day he hos one or more patients who como for precisely that treatment, Q considerable clientele who cali once or twice e year. He says it is too bad people don't know about thlscommon trouble,
 A number of patients who have had this ear swinging have expers fenced 50 much Improvement In hearing that they have been able to lay nSido their ear phones, The specialist says it is RstoiilnshinR what quantities of hardened ceru- men careful swinging removes in somo such cases.
 By tho way" adds the car spec. cialist, "thiS ear phone racket should be looked into, Some con" cerns will sell . phone to anyone, even by mall, without an examiElas tion," in the pamphlet on Deafness and Head Noises (for copy send stamped envelope bearing your ad" dress, but please do not send Q clips plng--ask for it yourself) I say hThore Is no reason why reputable firm should ask one to make q pay ment before one iS convinced that tho instrument will be . help in heaFing-And ono would Do aii easy mark Co advance A single penny on such e doal" By that I mean, don't sign contract to buy and don't pay anything down, except perhaps 6 reasonable rental charge for tho time you are using tho instrument on trial, or c cash deposit to assure the owner that you will return the instrument.
 The car specialist does not men- ton dlzziness or vertigo, but this complaint, as well as tho other eoIi- plainN the doctor mentions, b common when hardened wax or other foreign body 10 lodged if the car canal cloae Co If not if1 contact with the eardruni,
 A peculiar characteristic of the condition, is Autophony, that is lns creased resonance Of ones own voice, breath sounds, or heart sounds such As A humping pump" lng or blowing sound 9ynehronous with the heart beat--this complaint docs not necessarily signify on he' eumulGtion Of hardened WAX in the car canal, as it may occur rom, other car troubles But it should atl least aroufo suspicion and warrant careful examination of tho car by . physician equipped to diagnose and treat everyday car troubles,
 Tn the past ] have attempted to give detailed instruetio for Byflngs Ing the car, But the infinite capas city of even fairly intelligent lAy" men Co miaunderBtand such instruc- tlonB has cooled my ardor for that sort Of thing, advise any one with any of the complaints mentioned here Co visit the physician for ex' animation and, fl syringins is re- aulred, for instruction by tho phy- Hielan, SO that if neceEsary one can repeat the syrlnging at home
