this point, sit for while in a dentists
Office and note the result.
There have been those who on this
account claimed that woman was of a
lower organism than man, and pos
sessed Of fewer nerves and less sensi-
bility That is, of course, rank nom
sense. Every woman will tell you she
IS the greatest sufferer on earth, but
she says nothing about it,
A certain hospital physician has been
making some observations which I
think exceedingly interesting on the
manner in which different races, for
instances, bear suffering. He says the
Italian utters a continued string of
sounds similar to "ma-ma-ma."
The Russians sway their bodies to
and fro crying out oyer, oyer" A
Chinese before an operation will say
much and make no end Of outcry, but
when enduring actual suffering will
keep a stoical silence.
An American considers himself best
fortified for the ordeal by using profane
language, which varies in degree Of
warmth according to the mans position
IN society, but even mild-mannered
and pious man considers that pain
gives him the privilege Of swearing.
The observation Of this physician in
regard to American men will be borne
out by every woman who has had to
nurse her husband through a sick
headache. Next to an opiate nothing
seems 50 thoroughly soothing and rest
ful 10 the deluded patient when endur-
ing physical pain as the use of big,
big D." But any physician, while not
giving countenance by any means to
the use Of oaths will tell you that
the patient who makes the greatest
cutlery stands the best chance of re-
covery from an operation The man
who places so great a tension upon his
nerves in the absence Of an anesthetic
as to keep entire silence during so Sc
we're an ordeal, will in almost every
instance sink under the operation He
who makes a goodly amount of noise
suits his physician best, as he Is only
using natures safety valve and giving
constant relief to the nervous system
by 50 doing.

mamma will not permit the young lovers
TO use the parlor to spoon in, perhaps it
would be more discreet on their part
