on account of its great simplicity, and the effectu

rable and useful object.
The cans and jars arc constructed with a chan
nel around the mouth, nerr the top, into which
the cover fits loosely. This channel is filled with
a very adhesive cement, prepared for the purpose
and allowed to harlen. in order to seal jno

of ft tinnsr; are difi.icult to open, and are generally
so much injured iu opening as to be useless for
future service. '''. ' ' ' '
By this simple contrivance, the process of hcr-ineti-jaf

which its importauce demands. Their system of .
treating diseases of the middle and internal Ear, :
