Means ofChecking Coughing, Sneez
ing, Etc.

There are many facts which show that
morbid phenomena of respiration can
be stopped by the influence Of arrest
Coughing, for instance, can be stopped
by pressing on the nerves on the lip in
the neighborhood of the nose. A pres
sure there may stop cough when it is
beginning. Sneezing may be stopped by
the same mechanism. Pressing also in
in the neighborhood of the ear, right in
front of the ear, may stop coughing II
is so also of hiccough, but much less so
than for sneezing or coughing. Pres
sing very hard on the top of the mouth
inside is also means of stopping cough
ing. And / may say that the will has
immense power there. There was
French soldier who used to say, when
ever ne entered the wards of his hospt
tai, "The first patient who coughs there
will be deprived of food, to-day" 1t
was exceedingly rare that patient
coughed then. There are many Other
affections associated with breathing which
can be stopped by the same mechanism
that stops the hearts action. In spasn
of the CLOTHS, which is terrible thing
in children, as you well know, as itsome
times causes death, and also in whoop
ing cough, it is possible to afford relic
by throwing cold water on the face, OF
by tickling the soles of the feet, which
produces laughter and at the same time
goes to the gray matter that is producing
the spasm aud arrests it almost at once
| would not say that these means are al
WAYS successful. / would not say tha
we can always prevent coughing by oul
will but in many instances those thing
are possible, and if you remember tina
in bronchitis and pneumonia. or an,
other acute affection of the lungs, hook
ing or coughing greatly increases th
trouble at times, you can easily see hoy
important it is for the patient to try t
avoid coughing as best he can.-DI
