from
Brown Corpus
To remove an insect from one's ear warm water should be inserted.
A cinder or other small object could be removed from the eye by placing a flaxseed in the eye.
As the seed swelled its glutinous covering protected the eyeball from irritation, and both the cinder and the seed could soon be washed out.
Another way to remove small objects from the eye was to have the person look cross-eyed ; ;
the particle would then move toward the nose, where it could be wiped out with a wisp of cotton.
