essential of u healthy throat. The
nose is the medium made by nature
to transmit the air to the lungs. It's

from lung trouble.

misuse of natures organs of rcspira-
ton. II Is true that singers breathe
through the mouth. but it is only
while singing that they resort to
this method of breathing, and ii i,

often the cause of earacle among
children. This is due 10 the pressure
upon the custachian tube. which
