In bad cases the discharge drops from the ears, emitting a most offensive odour.
Treatment.—Cleanse ears thoroughly with warm water and a little spirit of wine.
Syringe out daily.
Pour in some of the following lotion night and morning.
| ℞ | Glycerine | 2 ounces |
| Laudanum | ½ ounce | |
| Lead acetate | ½ drachm | |
| Water added | 8 ounces |
Mix. Warm before use.
Milder cases can be cured by dusting boracic acid powder into ear night and morning, and for parasitic canker, use in the same way a little white precipitate (ammoniated chloride of mercury).
Give a dose of purgative medicine, such as Epsom salts, and then follow up with a course of alterative medicine. (See Recipes).
