Blowing the Nose.

Medical experts are calling the atteno
ton Of the public to the Importance Of
performing the nose blowing operation
in a scientific and hygienic manner.
First one nostril and then the other
should be blown without undue vio-
lence. Doctors state that the two nasal
passages should never be closed at the
same time. If they are INSTRUCTED, as
in the case of cold, the back of the
throat is filed with compressed air,
and this, together with the discharge
and the microbes which it contains,
may be driven through the eustachial
tube into the middle ear and lead to
serious results. A great authority on
the subject used to forbid his patients
to blow their noses when suffering
from cold. The course is hardly one
which will commend itself to those in
the habit of catching colds. The best
advice would seem to be that when it
is necessary to blow the nose blowing
should be done gently.-London Mail.
