Eye Injuries, with Notes on Treatment

hearing the patient at that time may have, but to safeguard life itself. There is no doubt that one sees at the present time fewer cases of the ill-effects of middle ear disease since the attention of surgeons has been directed to the removal of adenoids and enlarged tonsils in suitable cases, but not enough attention has been given to the actual cases of suppuration of the ears, where the danger is more urgent and active treatment more essential. Were this fact more usually recognised and the responsibility of the general practitioners more taken to heart, I have no doubt that a great reduction in the number of patients whose hearing is affected would be considerably diminished. A closer co-operation should be maintained between the general practitioner and the aurist, and would no doubt have a beneficial result for the work of both concerned.
