Place the palmar surfaces of the thumb, index, and mid- dle fingers of the right hand together so as to form a cone, in the apex of which cone will be a natural fossa to hold a bit of the snuff (which you pour from the bottle with the left hand — the size of a grain of wheat) . Then place the cone formed by the fingers holding the snuff against the right nostril, close the left nostril with the left hand, toss the head slightly back, and draw the snuff up into the nose with a strong inspiration. 80 Hand-Bool' of Modern Treatment.

After removing impacted cerumen from the ear, apply car- bolized hydrocarbol or albolene for a few minutes by means of a vaporizer until the meatus auditorius externus and the t}Tn- panum are thoroughly lubricated, and you will find that flexibil- ity of the tympanum will be increased and the hearing con- sequently intensified. IJ Glycerini, 5ss. Sodii bicarb., gr. xx. Aquae, Jss. !Misce. Sig.: \'ash out the ears two or three times a dav. 111 dealing with impacted cerumen difficulty is at times en- countered with the syringe in removing the mass, so tliat there is a temptation to employ considerable force, which is not with- Hand-Book of Modern Treatment, 81 out danger in the sudden removal of the plug, thereby doing damage to the tympanic membrane. In order to facilitate the removal of these impacted plugs various substances have been employed to soften or partly dissolve the mass. Among those that have been used are alcohol, glycerin, and the various salts of sodium, and, of late, peroxide of hydrogen has had some vogue. The writer has tried all of these solvents, but none has given such satisfaction in his hands as undiluted ether, poured from a small bottle or a suitable pipette into the external auditory canal. The ether acts in a few seconds, partly dissolv- ing the cerumen from its attachment to the canal ; so that, with the most gentle syringing, the plug is promptly removed. I have not seen any dizziness or other ill effects from this use of the ether. For those who might hesitate at first to em- ploy pure ether in the ear, a mixture of equal parts of ether and alcohol might be used, with perhaps the same effect. CHANCRE.
