BLOW YOUR NOSE.
Disgusting EEabfs.


Perhaps the most disgusting and filthy
habit to which Americans are addict
ed, Is the dirty indifference to the use OF
the handkerchief. and the substitution of
the mouth for the Offices OF the nose.
There 10 no sight 80 nauseating, revolving
and sickening; nothing so suggestive of
putrescence as this public relief of the.
nose and mouth. 1t is seen on the street,
even in the church and theatre, and most
Extensively In crowded car and in the
presence of ladies, where there Is no
escape from its undghtliness, except TO
leave the car, or kill the perpetrator of
such nastiness. ANY one who can persist
in the habit. after seeing another in the
performance Of an act so disgusting,
must have either an iron-clad stomach or
no stomach at all, or is too mean to buy
q handkerchief, or too ignorant to know
its use. The physiological place OF the
nose is highly important. Its relation
to and sympathy with some OF the most
dangerous maladies which afflict man
kind, are clearly understood. In catarrh,
asthma, bronchitis all diseases OF the bron-
chi and lungs and disordered stomachs. ik
Is sympathetically and deeply affected BY
the diSuse of the handkerchief, the mu-
c0us accumulations from the diseased
organs drip into the lungs and stomach;
hence the use of the handkerchief is not
only duty we owe to decency but to
health. The nose being always sensitive
to these irritati0ns and inlammations Of
the throat and bronchial tubes needs at
tention and nature intended It as a dis
charge pipe. There Is no doubt that by
this abuse OF the functions, aud by this
accumulation OF these nauseous secretions.
incipient consumption Is hastened and the
throat and bronchial maladies greatly ag-
gravated. The proprietors of Duffy's pure
malt whiskev, an article which has q
reputation all over the country as being
the most effective element in the cure OF
consumption and kindred troubles. say
that Of the thousand persons with whom
their Medical Department is In constant
correspondence on this one subject alone,
fully one-half say their troubles are di-
rectly traceable to neglect of the proper
functions Of the nose. We have refrained
for q long time making ailusion to thing
so distateful, but it seems to be growing
vice and must be suppressed, If Ii takes q
law to do 1t, Nuisances can be abated by
law, and who knows how much conta2ion
may Iurk In these filthy emissions.
