Red noses are always caused by
result from indigestion, but the usual
cause is strong drink. This fact is
recognized by the public, and it is en-
barraSslng to q man who does not drink
but who is afflicted with red frontis-
piece.
The cause Of the drinking mans
af1iiction is plain enough. He takes a
drink Of whisky. It accelerates the ac-
tien of the heart until 1T beats from
80 to So times a minute instead of from
70 to 76, ais it does when in it's normal
condition.
ST he takes more than one drink the
heart action is still further increased,
and the blood is forced through the
arteries with great force and -rapidity.
The minute veins at the end Of the
rose, being at one extremity Of the Sys
tenn, with no outlet, are filled with
blood and remain distended for several
hours or days, as the case may be.
This being the case, they lose their
elasticity. just like a violin string
which is kept keyed up over night. In
course of time they may regain their
normal condition, if the drinker will
refrain from liquor, but this the drink
ing man will seldom do. The conse-
quence is that the congestion of the
veins in his nose becomes chronic and
his habits are recognized. His nose
Is prima facie evidence that he is ad-
dicted to drink My province is to re-
lieve him Of this embarrassment.
when L puncture these distended
and congested blood vessels the blood
Is let out Of them and they contract
because of that fact. This gives them
an opportunity to assume their normal
condition, and healing completes the
operation.
'The electricity in the needles dead
ems the pain to such a degree that my
patients say the operations feels mere

noses with my finger.
In treating a person the thickness
of the skin must always be taken into
consideration. My machine can be ar

four and five millimeters.

Men have come in here with faces

taken away the whisky blossom and
placed in its stead the tint Of health.
81 do not claim that this result is
permanent. Red noses and faces are
the effect of a certain law. For time
I can destroy the effect, but unless the
cause is entirely removed the effect
will return.
