Facts Worth knowing.

In all diseases of the nasal mucuous
membrane the remedy used must be
non-irritating. Nothing satisfactory
can be accomplished with doucheS,
snuffs or powders, because they are all
irritating, do not reach the affected
surfaces and should be abandoned as
failures. A multitude of persons who
had for years borne all the worry and

A collection of skulls found in Peru
and now at Washington illustrates
prehistoric trephining. The skulls
prove that the trephining was done by
skilled surgeons to relieve fractures
and disorders from such injuries. The
success which must have attended
most of the operations is considered
remarkable, in view of the fact that
even at the present day trephining is
regarded as one of the most difficult of
surgical operations.-New York Sun.
