In tho last few years Hhe had had oar- cts u.t tiWi.es when the discharge wii8 suppressed. The discharge hnd a foul odor and whs very profuse. She kept tho enr plugged with cot ton to protect her clothing and bed clothing from be ing soiled '.by the discharge. It is always bad to wear a plug of cotton in a running ear. The mischievous and danger ous germs are encouraged by such coddling; whereas freo ventilation of the ear nJways discourages the harmful germs. I cannot impress this fact too firmly upon readers who have running ear; or upon readers who have children with such trouble. How often we see a misguided victim of some chro nic ear trouble wearing a plug of cotton, even when there is no ex ternat d Jscinyge. but merely with a vague idea that it protects the ear against "taking cold." Our old fugy health authorities are to blame for that. Besides the offen sive ear disc harge, which restricted the woman's social life, and the earaches, she had been troubled with buzzing noise in the affected ear for 15 years. Kxamfnation of the ear showed a largo polyp occluding tho canal. Tho doctor removed this with snare. Then he was able to see that the drum membrane and part of the bones of the middle eur were missing had been destroyed by the years of suppuration. After this the ear remained dry for sev eral weeks, then discharged pro fusely again for a time, and the patient complained of a new symp tom, dizziness. Now the doctor advised operation, but the patient preferred to continue palliative treatment a while, as she felt sure she had improved after removal of the polyp and the medicinal appli CiUiinis tho doctor made. fc$o even tuully she was cured, that Is the ear 'discharge ceased and she had no further trouble. Another woman uged 44 had acute tonsilitls in JUarch, and de veloped earache after two days of yore throat, and an ear discharge the third day. Then her doctor incised the ear drum to encourage proper drainage. This is a stan dard practice, tho, speaking as a mere general practitioner, not nn ear specialist, I am skeptical about its value. Two days later the pa tient was sick and no mistake, fever, profuse muco-purulcnt dis charge from ear, intense stuffiness.' of nose, turbinates In nose found extremely boggy. After several days of this, with Irregular fever. X-ray pictures indicated involve ment of the mastoid cells, and operation was done. No pus found on opening Into the mastoid spaces behind the ear. So the surgeon went on. exposing the dura (brain covering) and finding It normal and poking about here and there in hope of getting at the obscure area of Infection commendable enough as a general rule, tho I confess 1 don't savvy tho practice in mastoid surgery and one thing and another. After a prolonged convalescence the patient made a good recovery. I was going to add a description of a third case in which similar surgical Intervention proved simi larly unwarranted and the patient presently died. But let us draw the curtain. I think it is good conservative teaching for me to advise patients with chronic running car to submit to mastoid operation only after proper medical methods have failed. ji i:kti.s AMI AXSWKItS ItillKHtil'lll or Feet ' Out- ritiUKhtt-r, who has boon away at college, citine home with a species of ringworm infection.

The bruise hus disappeared but tho bump re mains. Is plastic surgery success ful in such cases? (B. J. E.) Answer. I'lastlc surgery Is ordi nary surgery done for the purpose of attempting to remedy a blemish or some irregulaity of feature. I am unable to say whether surgery can remedy your friend's trouble. Beware of charlatans who profess to be plastic surgeons. A real sur geon, one with professional stand ing, is none too good for such op erations. If any reputable doctor in your community does such work any reputable doctor there will tell you about it. I regret I know of only tin occasional surgeon about the country who is dependable and especially skilled in such work. Ono of our queer medical .customs, you know, is to frown on tho hon est, reputublo, skillful doctor who wishes to limit his practice to such work. We do not "recognize" such a specialty, bo he is outa luck. He should choose some sifch simple field as the eye, ear, nose, throat or what have you, and then we'll all know what his specialty is.
