If the hot compress extends below the jaw, the com-mon carotid will be dilated. An ice-bag below the jaw withthe fomentation increases its effect by contracting the carotid. 1266 The Internal Ear.— Receiving its blood supply from thevertebral artery, a branch of the subclavian, the internal earis not influenced by heat over the ear, but may be relievedwhen congested by warm applications to the arms and cold. THE TECHNIQUE OF HYDROTHERAPY. 73/ applications to the head and the back of the neck, thusdiverting the blood into the arms from the vertebral arterieswhile at the same time contracting the vertebral arteries by aproximal cold compress or an ice-bag to the back of the neck. TJie Nasal Cavity.— The face and sides of the head, 1267diverting the blood from the internal carotid and the internalmaxillary. The PJiaiy7ix.— The whole face, diverting blood from the 1268internal maxillary and the ascending pharyngeal. TJie Larynx. — The skin of the neck overlying the larynx, 1269and the arms, diverting the blood from the internal branchesof the carotid and the subclavian into their external branches(the superior and inferior thyroids). The arms and back,and the sides of the upper chest may also be utilized. Chill-ing of
