THE FACE IN ILLNESS.
To the Trained Eye 1t Quickly Show
n 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, incomplete closure
of the eyelids, rendering the whites of
the eyes visible during sleep, Is a symp-
tom in ALL acute and chronic diseases Of
a severe type; 1t is also to be observed
when rest is unsound from pain, wher-
ever seated.
Twitching of the eyelids, associated
with the oscillation of the eyeballs, or
squirting, heralds the visit Of convul-
sions.
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 plur-
al investment.
Contraction Of the brows indicate pain
In the head; sharpness of the nostrils,
pain In the chest, and a drawn upper
lip. pain in the abdomen.
To make a general rule, it may be
stated that the upper third Of the face
Is altered in expression in actions Of
the brain, the middle third. in the dis
eases of the organs contained In the
abdominal cavity.

The Foudroyant Will Soon Appear In

Some free silverltes talk as
though foreign creditors could not
reduce our currency if we had free
silver coinage, and that free SILVER
coinage would make money
"plenty.'' In settling foreign
balances and in paying foreign
debts, both gold and silver are
used, and both pass at their com.
mercial value as bullion. A large
amount of silver is yearly shipped
out of this country, and would
probably continue to be under free
coinage. The simple fact that
this country offered to coin silver
at Is to / would at once fix the
value of the present silver dollar
at it's bullion value. Gold would
disappear from circulation, and
some silver would be coined, but
in none of the free silver coun.
tries is the circulation nearly as
large as it now is in the United
States. The fact that silver dol.
lar and the amount of silver bull
lion in dollar We're Of the same
value would not necessarily make
its circulation extensive. Mexico,
China, and other countries with
free silver, have not much money,
and there is no reason to expect
that free coinage would make it
plenty in this country. A large
part of our present money would
