Drop one drop into the ear once a day, and place in the ear a small piece of sponge saturated with it.

Or, syringe the ears well with warm milk and oil ; then take opodeldoc, and oil of almonds, of each, % oz., and apply with sponge or lint. Or, fill a clean stone bottle with hot water ; lay the ear on the bottle as hot as it can be borne, so that the steam may ascend into it every night when going to bed, for five or ten minutes.

DEAFNESS, If recent, to Cure. — If not, to Relieve. — Hen’s oil, 1 gill ; and a single handful of the sweet clover raised in gardens ; stew it in the oil until the juice is all out, strain it, and bottle for use. Where deafness is recent, it will be cured by putting 3 or 4 drops daily into the ear, but if of long standing, much relief will be obtained if continued a sufficient length of time. DEAFNESS.— Take the juice of foxglove leaves, and an equal quantity of best brandy. Mix. Put 2 drops into the ear at bed-time. Stop the ear with a little lint or sponge, wet with the same mixture.
