New York Timeg.
Many gentlemen of correct habits and
proper morals who are members of the
Young Mems Christian association aud
sympathize with the prohibitionists, are
afflicted with carmine tipped noaes of SO
brilliant q lustre ~ to drive the casual
observer to the conclusion that they are
disslpated and abandoned r~eprobates.
Nothing can be more disheatt ening to q
man whose principles have led him to alb.
stain totally from all Intoxicating liquors
than to be pointed out as q horrible ex-
ample to the rising generation in the
stress, only because On inscrutable
providence has bestowed upon him q red
nose. One of the most unfortunate In
dividuals, driven no doubt to desperation
by the scorn of the temperate man an
and the jibes of the small boy whom he
meets upon the ~thoroughfares of the
metropolis, yesterday advertised
as follows In the daily paper.
A LIBERAL reward will be paid for q remedy that
"A will cure a red nose on a person CT good habits.
DR.. William Stevens, of No. 90 West
Thirty first stree, was questioned upon
these %phenomenas by a reporter of the
Times. Red %noses," said the physician,
''may be divided into four classes. There
is the whisky red nose, which is often Gull
tivated by its owner with as much pride
and attention as he devotes to the color
ing of his meerschaum pipe. Some men
are proud of red noses just az others are
of black GEOGRAPHICALLY blaek-but
these persons are NOT ornaments to society
morally any more than they are physical.
ly, as a general thing. Of course the
only remedy for this kind of a red nose is
to abstain from the use of alcoholic bev-
erages. 1t all depends upon whether a
man will sacrifice his appetite to his ap.
pearance. The second class of red noses
the kind of a red nose that may be as
ISOLATED with the features of a gentleman
who does not use liquors. produced by
embolism; that is, by the stoppage or OBJ
struction of blood vessels in the nose,
causing the blood to remain there. This
may be cured by pticking with long
needles and letting the blood out. Does
it hurt? Oh, no, of course not; it's a very
pleasant opera ion, like pulling teeth"
''The third class of red nose, may be
called the cancerous diathesis nose, which

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
who advertises says-is Tie red nose pro-
duced By superficial capillary circulation
in the veins and arteries just below the
surface of the skin. These arteries are

they will not receive the red corpuscles
In the blood, and therefore no rsdneqs is
appreciable when the arte and skin
are healthy. The redness is caused by a
~disorganized condition Of the capillaries
The minute veins become enlarged and
the red corpusles are admitted and show
through the akin. The only cure for these
noses is climate, diet and exercise-a re-
gulation 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 q cline like
this. The only cure way to curs 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
