In Reply.—

The analysis of our data by Mayes and Perrin is certainly appreciated. First, in answer to their inquiry about diagnosis, Schwartz diagnosed the otitis media in each case, using both pneumatic otoscopy and tympanometry. Though Schwartz' accuracy in diagnosis could be questioned, we feel that his diagnostic skills are at least as good as those of any other investigator who has reported on the management of otitis media.

Second, as for the problem of changing denominators, we are grateful to Mayes and Perrin for pointing out the confusion between the table and the text.
