What Deaf People Should Avoid.

The things that deaf people should avoid are well summed up in a few brief hints entitled “Don’ts for the Deaf,” part of an article on “Hygiene of the Ear,” contained in the latest number of the “Review of the Ear, Nose, and Throat Diseases.” Turning the leaves of this popular magazine one finds also much of interest in the way of general information on deafness and different forms of catarrh. The routine treatment of the aural specialist comes in for much criticism, and new methods are thoroughly discussed, preference being given to th© new treatment based on outward applications behind the ears. This treatment, the Drouet Method, which, can be applied at home, is said to have effected a large number of cures in cases where other methods failed. Those who arc interested in the subject can obtain a copy of the ‘•Review of Ear, Nose and Throat Diseases,” free by post, by addressing the Editor Drouet. Institute, 10, Marble arch, London, W., England. Another special feature of the “Review” is the enclosure of a Patient’s Report Form, for the benefit of those who wish advice, for which no fee is charged if gjven by correspondence.
