NASAI. DISCHARGE FROM CARIOUS TEETH, ETC. 



Ulceration into sinus from caries, loss of molar, overgrown molar. 

 Foetor, tenderness. Foreign body in the nose. 



In cases of a diseased molar tooth in the upper jaw, food 

 getting firmly impacted in the hollow space, irritates the pulp in 

 the fang and the adjacent bone until the progress in ulceration 

 reaches the nasal chamber or sinuse and a nasal discharge is 

 established. If an upper molar tooth is lost the molar formerly 

 opposed to it in the lower jaw grows out and sets up the same 

 train of symptoms. In all cases then in which nasal gleet is as- 

 sociated with much foetor and with difficulty in eating, a careful 

 examination of the teeth should be made. (See Diseases of the 

 Teeth). 



FOREIGN BODY IN THE NOSB. 



Professor Gamgee records the destruction of an animal for glan- 

 ders in which the cause of the discharge was afterwards found to 

 be a physic ball coughed up into the posterior part of the nose 

 and firmly impacted there.
