But leaving these questions, I think there can be no doubt that the lymphatics play their part, as well as the veins and arteries, in propagating inflammation from the tympanum to the brain and meninges, as they certainly do in conveying septic matter from a focus in the middle ear into the general circulation.

To estimate this with anything like an approach to accuracy is a matter of the greatest difficulty. It is only by examining the consecutive records of many years of work, either of special ear hospitals or of those general hospitals which have an active aural department, that this difficulty can be overcome.
