Hoods s;Ss:'s'ii' Cures
Danger in Perfumery.

Woman who are fond of indulging in
strong perfumes should remember that
they are decidedly injurious to the
sense Of smell. BY their frequent use
the secretory glands of the nose and
throat are overtaxed and weakened.
Cne day a person notices that the hear
ing is less active than usual and the
sense of smell seems defective This
is, of course put down to cold, and
but little is thought of it. After IA
time the entire head becomes affected
and there are throat and lung compli-
cations which are likely to end in
chronic, if not fatal illness. Smel ing
salts are prolific cause of deafness. All
strong and pungent oGors. particular
ly thosewhich act upon the secretory
processes should be avoided as far as
possible.
