Remedy.
Many gentlemen Of correct habits
and proper morals are afflicted with
carmine-tippcd noses of so brilliant a
lustre as to drive the the casual OBJ
server to the conclusion that they are
dissipatcd and abandoned reprobates.
Nothing can be more disheartening to
maj whosoprinciples have led him to
abstain totally from all Intoxicating
liquors to be pointed out as a horrible
example to the rising generation in the
streets, only because an %inscrutable
Providence has bestowed upon him a
red nose. One OF these unfortunate in
dividuals, driven no doubt to ,despera-
ton by the corn of the temperate man
and the iipa,s of the small boy whom
he meets upon the thoroughfares of
the metropolis, yesterday advertised as
follows in a daily paper:
A LIBERAL REWARD. WILL BE raid
n for Il remedy that will cure a red nose
on a person of good habits.
DR.. William Stevens, of No. 9 West
Thirty-first street, was questioned upon
these phenomena by a reporterp f the
Times. cred noses" said thd ply
sician, ''may be divided into four
classes. There is the whisky redInose,
which is often cultivated by its owner
with as much pride and attention as he
devotes to the coloring of his ileer-
schaum pipe, Some men are proud Of
red noses lust as others are of Hack
eyes-artificially black-but those per-
sons are not ornaments TO society
morally any more than they are physi-
cnlly, as a general thing. OF course,
the onlyHremedy for this kind of a red
nose is to abstain from the use of al
coholic beverages. 1t all depends upon
whether a man will sacrifice his APP
petite to his appearance. The second
class of red noses-the kind OF a red
nose that may be associated with the
feature of a gentleman who does not
use liquors. produced by embolism;
that is, by the stoppage OF obstruction
Of blood vessels in the end of the nose,
causing the blood to- remain there.
This may be cured by pricking with
long needles and letting the blood out.
Does it hurt? Oh, no, Of course not;
it's a very pleasant operation, like pull
ing teeth.
SsThe third class : of red nose
may be called the %cancerous diathesis
nose, which is caused by cancer,
and a only be cured by the cure
of the cancer. The fourth class of
these red noses-the red nose that is
most common to men and women of
good habits as the gentleman VINO
advertises says-is the red nose pro-
duced by superficial capillary c%ircula-
ton in the veins and arteries just,
below the surface Of the skin. These
arteries are so minute in their normal
condition that they will not receive
the red corpuscles in the blood
and therefore no rcuness is appreciate
when the arteries and skin are healthy.
The redness is caused by a disorganized
condition of the capillaries. The min
ute veins become enlarged and the red
corpuscles are admitted and show
through the skin. The only cure
for these noses is climate. diet, and
eNercise-a regulation of the system.
Some people whose noses are red in
New York would find them the color
of the rest of their skin in Florida or
at the North Pole. and people whose
noses are red in those places might
find them cured in a climate like
this. The only sure way to cure any,
red nose is to adopt the plan Of the
gentleman mentioned by Sam Weller,
who cured his little boy of squirting
by cutting his head fl ."-NeW York,
