Salt and water is useful to bathe for the rheumatism, when it is of long-standing. Deafness, Remarks, &c. Wool should be worn in the ears, and an occasional use of the mixture; also flannel round the head at night.
Seeing she did not move nor answer, he tilted his head to one side and surveyed her with interest. "Hath much soft persuasion surfeited thee into deafness?" The color surged up into Rachel's face. "Ha!" he exclaimed, "not so! Perhaps thou art but reluctant, then." He whirled upon the other children, cowering behind him. "Is she wedded?" he demanded.
His stateliness provoked her mirth his deafness her impatience; and when she compared him with the joyous cavaliers, the brilliant and captivating men who graced the court of the gay and luxurious Louis, for whose gallant plumes and glittering armour she so often watched through her half-closed lattice, she turned from the husband they would have given with a disgust that was utterly insupportable.
Sickness is included rather for its effect on the emotions and mind, since bodily infirmity, such as blindness or deafness, is no insuperable barrier to spiritual life, and may sometimes be a help, as cutting off distractions.

There is no need to follow in detail the frequent similar occurrences between Gassner's time and our own. We all know where we are to-day.
We imagine that many of our readers will be surprised when they learn that this operation, although so simple in itself, and performed by every reckless stable-boy, is attended with great suffering to the puppy, and not unfrequently with total deafness.
What can be more singular than the relation between blue eyes and deafness in cats, and the tortoise-shell colour with the female sex; the feathered feet and skin between the outer toes in pigeons, and the presence of more or less down on the young birds when first hatched, with the future colour of their plumage; or, again, the relation between the hair and teeth in the naked Turkish dog, though here probably homology comes into play?
The splendid old veteran's mental faculties are as acute as ever; he is not afflicted with deafness and he is still upright as a dart, though his eyesight has failed him.
