In every part of our body, we perceive the most wonderful evidence of design and wisdom. Were it not for the excessive bitterness of the wax in our ears, they would be constantly liable to be invaded by insects; as it is, so far as the ears are concerned, they seldom give us any trouble. When, however, insects do get into the ear, with a little care they can be removed. If the substance should be of a hard nature, as a bean, pea, or seed, care should be taken not to crowd it farther in, but, bending the point of a pin or needle in the form of a hook, it can generally be inserted, and the offending substance drawn out, after which, if the ear should be inflamed, it may be washed by a mixture, composed of two drops of Arnica, to one tablespoonful of water.
