THE FACE IN ILLNESS.
To the Trained Eye 1t Quickly Shows
n Patients Condition.

Patients Condition.
From the Trained Nurse.
The face is a good index to the state Of
ones physical being, and from it symptoms
of disease can be detected almost before the
patient is aware that anything serious is
the matter with him. For instance, incom-
plete closure of the eyelids, rendering the
whites Of the eyes visible during sleep. is a
symptom in all acute and chronic diseases
of a severe type; it is also to be observed
when rest is unsound from pain, wherever
seated.
Twitching of the eyelids. associated with
the oscillation of the eyeballs or squirting,
heralds the visit of commissions.
Widening Of the orifices of the nose, with
movements Of the nostrils to and fro, point
to embarrassed breathing from disease Of
the lungs or their plural investment.
Contraction of the brows indicates pain in
the head; sharpness of the nostrils, pain in
the chest, and drawn upper lip, pain in
the abdomen.
To make a general rule, 1T may be stated
that the upper third of the face is altered
in expression in affections of the brain, the
middle third. in the diseases of the organs
contained in the abdominal cavity.
