Chronic Otitis Of The Middle Ear

5283

The ear is first carefully cleansed from all discharge by the use of cotton on a probe. A small quantity is then taken, saturated in vaseline, most of which, however, should be pressed out, so that the cotton is only moist. This being held by a pair of forceps, should be dipped into finely pulverized boric acid, allowing as much to adhere to the cotton as possible. Now introduce into the ear, pressing it down upon the perforated membrana tympani, and allow it to remain there a varying length of time, from two to three days. - Dr. G. S. Norton.
