What to do.—Bathe them with hot water and apply linseed poultices. Give intcinally fever mixture, No. IS, till the fever is subdued. If the gland suppurates and comes to a point in any spot, open it, and continue the poultices as before. XIV. Fistula of the Parotid Duct. Causes.—Sometimes from a tumor or lump of hardened food in the region of the parotid duct (in the cheek opi)osite the third molar of the upper row of teeth), the opening of the duct becomes obstructed, inflammation sets in, and the duct often breaks out in a fresh spot.

How to know it.—A sore is found on the cheek, usually on the outside, but scuiietinics on the inside; but the inner one does little harm as the saliva is not wasted. The saliva flows continuously, but more freely during mastication. What to do.—Clip off the hair around the opening, and remove any irritant ov obstruction on the inside ; see that the natural opening is clear. Scarify the edges of the external opening to make a fresh wound of it; then apply the paste, No. 10, to the oi)ening, and let a cold linseed poul- tice go on directly over it. Dress it in this manner twice a day, and the fistulous opening will soon close if the natural passage is kept open. XV. Pistiilous "Withers.
