Earache.

.. There are simple remedies for most common disorders requiring no skilled attention, and even experts are often willing to give away cures that anybody can manage. No doubt many people have thanked the man who published without a patent this easy relief for the earache. “I am- afraid I have greatly interfered with my own practice,” said a celebrated aurist, “by giving the following advice to many of my friends: “At the first symptoms of earache let the patient lie on the bed with the painful ear uppermost. Fold a thick towel and tuck it around the neck; then with a teaspoon fill the ear with warm water. “Continue doing this for fifteen or twenty minutes; the water will fill the ear orifice, and flow over on the towel. After turning over the head, let the water run -out, and plug the the ear with warm glycerine and cqtton. “This may be done every hour until relief is obtained. It is an almost invariable cure, and has saved many cases of acute inflamation. The water should be quite warm, but not too hot.”—London Tid-JBits.
