If washed sufficiently often, and syringed once a week with warm milk and water, or with very weak soap-suds, gently warmed, the cerumen or ear wax will hardly be found accumulated in such masses as to produce deafness. And yet such accumulations, with such consequences, are by no means uncommon.
Phib Cook left her evening wash-tub and appeared at her door in soap-suds, a bonnet-poke, and general dampness; three narrow-chested ribbon-weavers, in rusty black streaked with shreds of many-coloured silk, sauntered out with their hands in their pockets; and Molly Beale, a brawny old virago, descrying wiry Dame Ricketts peeping out from her entry, seized the opportunity of renewing the morning's skirmish.
I'm very sorry: but I thought it was my husband." "But if you did," said the stranger, "there was no occasion to drown him with a basin of soap-suds. It is your husband I want, madam, if he be Dr. Chillingworth." "Then, indeed, you must go on wanting him, sir, for he's not been to his own home for a day and a night. He takes up all his time in hunting after that beastly vampyre." "Ah!
But this form of deafness may be easily cured, even though it has existed for years; for, having softened the accumulations of viscid wax by dropping animal oil into the ear, they may be removed by the injection of warm soap-suds, which is an effectual and safe remedy. The sense of hearing is perhaps as susceptible of cultivation as any of the senses.
The most noted of these is the Eldorado, which has given more than one prominent performer to the Parisian stage Theresa, who, once a dishwasher in a hotel, left her soap-suds and mop to become a Parisian celebrity, the instructress of a princess, and now a really talented comic actress and bouffe singer; Judic and Theo, the rival beauties of the Opera Bouffe; and lively little Boumaine, now one of the stars of the Variétés.
Death by drowning occurs when breathing is arrested by watery or semi-fluid substances blood, urine, etc. The fluid acts mechanically by entering the air-cells of the lung and preventing the due oxidation of the blood. Froth like that of soap-suds in the trachea is an indication of a vital act, and must not be mistaken for the tenacious mucus of bronchitis.
Conceive what it was to behold my adored one standing in the middle of the room, up to her elbows in soap-suds, washing out the very dress in which she was to appear on the morrow.... Good taste defend us! Could anything be more cruelly calculated to disturb the tender tenor of a lover's dreams?
"How nice it would be to be rich," she replied. "But you will be well off when you're twenty-one, I am told." "I suppose there's a chance of it," she answered dreamily. "Do you know what your aunt's income was?" he asked. "Seven or eight hundred a year," she answered absently. His wife came out when the carriage stopped, wiping soap-suds from her bare arms with her apron.
"Once, after painting a summer evening, he thought that the picture needed a dark spot in front by way of contrast; so he cut out a dog from black paper and stuck it on. That dog still appears in the picture." Another time he painted "A Snow-storm at Sea," which some critics called "Soap-suds and Whitewash."
"Don't judge from first impressions; they're often deceptive," spluttered Hamilton, pausing in his ablutions to look at his friend through a mass of soap-suds an act which afterwards cost him a good deal of pain and a copious flow of unbidden tears. "Right," exclaimed Charley, with an approving nod to Hamilton. "You must not judge him prematurely, Harry.
