One Way to Cure Hieeouahs.

Did you ever take nine swallows Of
water to cure the hiccoughs? Do you
remember the time someone scared the
hiccoughs away by telling you of a
whipping due for some meanness?
Well, science has been studying hic-
coughs and caught the hiccoughs by
the "nape of the neck" The nine
swallows OF water had a little science
In it, and SO did the scare cure. The
scientific hiccough cure consists in
pressing down to nunbness the nerve
that connects the stomach. heart, lungs
and brain, the pneumogastric nerve.
The pressure partially and locally par
alyzes this nerve and of necessity the
hiccoughs must cease.
Have the hiccoughing patient sit down
and be at ease. with the muscles Of tn,
neck relaxed as much as possible.
Grasp both sides Of the neck some
what toward the back part and press
down steadily and as hard as the SUBJ
ject may permit for about one minute
having the patient work the head from
side to side. Within about one minute
the nerve viii be numbed and rested
and the spasmodic motion will cease
1t may require longer pressure I'm some
cases. but the result is sure if patience
is maintained.--Ohio state Journal.
