N2  - The quaint work of Dr. Dimitriadis on foreign bodies, worms and insects in the human ear is essentially a historical one. By reference to the original source he sketches the views regarding foreign bodies, animate and inaminate, in the ear from the days of classic Greece to modern times. It is interesting to note that even the earlier observers recognized the importance of foreign bodies in the ear and gave sound advice regarding their removal. Almost all surgeons agree in recommending the syringe before using traction instruments. From more recent literature he quotes some of the oddities occasionally observed and shows by illustrative cases the possible danger to life from foreign bodies in the ear, especially from unskillful efforts at removal. Six plates illustrate surgical instruments of the ancients.
