giantE physician, who, in his way, is q
great Wag, tells Il story Of north side
gentleman who for years has suffered
from what in medical parlance is known
rs Snperorbital neuralgia Qunine pro-
we'd OF no effect, and the sufferer was al
most craxcd with pain. \ kind hearted
old lady living in the neishborhood Of
the ratlcnt Informed him that if Ae
would cut the affected nerve with u paif
oEeSciSSorS or d knife, it would give hin,
no further trouble. 1t so happens that
the s,perorbital nerve is the one which
Eontrol Is the action of the eyelid, and
Fl furthtr happens that when man is in
liquor tl:ls nerve becomes paralyzed.
and it is this that gives IA drunken per
son such a cnmical expression about the
eyes. The neuralgia patient no S..,.el-'
heard what he supposed the weAeense5
news from the old lady, than he re-
paired to his closet and with iack
knife parted in twain the offending
nerve, and he now gieets his friends
with his right eye a, sober us Il Quaker
IN a quarterly meeting, and the left in a
highly intoxicated condition. 1t now.
