Keep salt out o. the NostrIIs.

A late paper by medical authority
advises against the common and ''un-
healthy remedy of shutting Il solution
of salt and water for catarrhal troubles.
In its place is recommended solution
of warm water and bicarbonate of soda
Ia teaspoonful of soda to a cupful of
water. The same solution is prescribed
for acute sore throat in the place of po-
tassium. whatever solution is used
in the nose, says the writer Of the pa
per, sit is a great mistake to forciby
snuff il into nostrils from the palm Of
the hand. If it IS snuffed too forcibly
it is forced into the upper part of the
nasal cavity. where it is very irritating,
often causing headache and irritation
of the eyes. The best and simplest way
to use the soda solution is to bury the
nose entirely in. the cup Of fluid and
then gently suck the solution into the
nose, at the same time holding the
mouth wide open. N y. Post.
