complains of great pain in the right ear, particularly when exposed to the air. It is at times attended with tinnitus aurium, vertigo & deafness, but at present she hears very well. Pulse, Belly, tongue & appetite natural. Catamenia have not appeared for these two last months.

The affection of her ears supervened during a violent attack of fever about six weeks ago. About three weeks after the first attack a considerable discharge of matter apparently purulent, took place from the ear affected. This gave her great relief. This discharge continued till about four days ago. It then stopped & the [pain] became more violent.

she attributes the obstruction of the Catamenia to having got wet in her feet. She has used no medicines.
