PEA IN THE EAR.
FOUND AFTER 33 YEAR'S. For 33 years, according to a Banbury doctor, who has written to the British Medical Journal on the subject, a woman lived with a pea in her ear, and experienced no discomfort. The woman, at the age of 45 complained of deafness, and was found to have wax in both ears. From one ear, as well as wax, a pea was recovered. She says that at the age of 12, when she was playing at putting peas up her nostrils and in her ears with other children, she was unable to retrieve one she had placed in her left ear.
■The woman was taken to a doctor, who discredited the story, but told her father to drop Avarm oil in the ear. After that the incident was forgotten.
