In n type, there is a small open

together with some infection Of the
middle a and the eustachian tube
which leads from the throat to the
ear. This type appears to respond
rapidly to the treatment with the

cations rarely occur in these cases
and operations are rarely neces-

In the second type Of chronic
running ear, there is infection Of
the middle a together with the
formation of excessive seal It's

and the 81 of the powder, it is
stated, will clear up more than half
of the cases. If there is a great
deal of scar tissue present, an OPP

In some instances, small tumor
growths may appear in the a
known as aurol polypi. In such in
stances, operation is necessary.
With the proper treatment Of
acute middle-ear infections, the
chronic type Of the disorder may
often be prevented. Should chronic

appear to be Of value.
