Abstract
Flatus without fever, but with heaviness and pain, causes tinnitus, an indication that the meatus is obstructed by thick humour; and the flatus comes from the brain, or from within the body, and wanders to and from in that same part by consent: but the chief air the ear has permanently within itself is always firm and passive. The flatus generates the phlegm and a grosser humour, which blocks the passages and occupies the ear.
