These are symptoms of a fur- uncle or boll in the canal going in to the outer side o1 tne U-Lllll ot the ear—not. in the ear proper at. all. The pressure of the boil and the inflammation in this small rotind canal causes intense _ aln. In speaking of these bot or furuncles in the outer ar canal, Dr. F. S. Wrigley, Mime ester. in The Practitioner, says that. the majority of cases do not. call for operation and a soothing and waiting‘ or palliative treatment often gives the better result. The canal should be packed with half inch ribbon gauze moistened with some antiseptic preparation such as 2 pereeti carbollc in glycerlrie tind fomentation (warm and moist medicated liquids) over the whole ear give greater relief than dry heal. in any form. When the boil comes to l. ‘head’ and lt can be seen to contain pus. opening should not be delayed. As opening s. boll in this region is often very painful, Dr. Wrigley states that; a general anaesthetic should always be given. Some physicians clean out. the canal with equal parts of peroxide and warm water, dry the canal with absorbent cotton. and then insert a fewdrops of Keith's dres- sing (l part carbollc to 16 parts glvcerine). I1’ boll ls small and ‘read_v‘. lt ls opened with a wooden toothpick that has been dipped in carbollc. It is important to A ember that when pain is in and in fmrit of ear and ls lncraesed when ear is moved. the trouble is likely due to 11 boil in the canal.

From these investments flows the steady return of interest payments, estimated by experts at tirolitid 511.100.000.000. In Canada. for instance. Britain tins some $2.750.000.000 placed.

Now why not ask our Federal representatives to look to the Fed- eral Government for a small grant. to pay for the Oats? The same Government pegs the price of wheat at cents a‘ bushel; the price of which con- tinues to drop -and no man can sav how many tens of millions of dollars it ls going to cost the tax- payers of this country to pay the difference between the pegged price of 80 cents and the actual price paid to the wheat: growers of the West. ‘ Now I would suggest, that the farmers who are tied up in this iron bound, signed, sealed, wit- nessed and delivered Oats deal- izet together and petition both our local and federa representatives to do something helpful to lift this extra. burden from shoulders that n many cases are already bearing more than they can very well carry.
