THE USEFUL YAWN.
This Lung ventilating Process Serves
Double Purpose.


The act of yawning is distinctly bene-
ncial In two ways. In the first place.
It serves the purpose of lung ventila-
ton. The lungs are not filed or ex-
hausted by ordinary respiration. There
IS a certain quantity of air which phys
iologists call residual air. left in the
recesses of the lungs after the ordinary
respiration. This in time becomes viii
ated and affects the blood and, through
1t, the nervous centers.
The result is a yawn, which is really
a stretching of the respiratory chamber
to its fullest capacity and the filling
Of 1T with freshly inspired air which
drives the vitiated air out. Yawning is
also beneficial in so far as it opens,
stretches and ventilates the vocal, ma
sal and auditory chambers in immedi
ate connection with the mouth.
| The cracking sound often heard, wher
yawning is due to the stretching an6
opening of the eustachian tubes, which
form communication between tn,
middle ear and the back of the throat
The deafness which often aceompanie
cold is due to the congestion Of thes
tubes.-London Hospital
