cau.e Of Red Noses.

"Redness OF the nose" Is caused by
indigestion not intemperance. The
remedy, it Is stated. is to abstain from
over-indulgence in fats and sweets"
This dictum will be appreciated by
many worthy persons whose noses are
unduly rosy. For years they have been
misjudged by irreverent scoffers who
did not scruple to ascribe the nasal tint
to excessive imbibitions. Now science
comes to their relief. 1t is Flats and
sweets" that make the trouble, causing
indigestion, which produces rush of
blood to the nose. Some persons given
to alcoholic stimulants do indeed have
red noses, but the redness is stomachic,
not alcoholic. The FIRE water" may
burn out ones coppers,' and thus in
directly produce the luminous probos-
els, but it's owner is now in position
to assert that 1t is an error to say
drinking did it. Exchange.
