From a girl, 20 years old, who had suf-fered from ear-affection from child-hood. The suppuration is localizedto the space above the short suppurating cavity was cleansedby means of a small tympanic tube,inserted from the meatus, and thena few drops of a ten per cent, solutiondf nitrate of silver were injectedthrough the same tube, by which thesecretion was arrested on the follow-ing day.
