-Nosebieed.

EpistaxiS, that is TO say, noseoieeu' Is
an accident which will sometimes occur
in the best-regulated families, and hap
oily. in most cases, need occasion no
alarm. In fact, it may often be hailed as
an advantageous symptom, especially
when il occurs in healthy, fullblooied
young people There are also certain
diseases, such as BrightS or cirrhosiS OF
the liver, or typhoid fever, when an at
tack of noSebleed may do good rather
than harm; when it is, in fact, simply a
sign that Mother Nature is trying TO re
lieve her child in one way because she
is baked in another.
In these cases the flow is beneficial,
but the subject OF the attack should be
watched in order that there should not be
undue profusion, leading TO weakening
of the vital forces, or if too prolonged, to
a genuine anenlia.
When an attack OF nosebleed seems 10
be doing no harm, as in the case OF a
young, healthy boy or girl, ii is best TO
LET if alone, or at the most after a time to
use some very simple remedy, such as
the application of cold over the brow
by means of cloth wrung out OF quite
cold water, or by Snuffing a little cold
water up the nostrils.
There are certain old-faShloned RENE
dies, such as putting the key OF the front
door down the back, which do neither
harm nor good, but which owe their or
isin to the same theorY-the application
of cold and shock.
When cold water is snuffed up through
the nostrilS, the addition OF some mild as
tringent-alum or tannin, for example
will make the treatment more quickly ef-
ficaciouS.
Sometimes, when other slight remedies
seem to fail, pressing on the nostrlls Will
succeed in Stopping the flow.
As to internal remedies, there is none
known that is of any avail in a danger
Gus noSebleed, and when the danger
point is reached there is nothing to do
but plug the nostrils. When this treat
ment is called for the physician should
be sent for t. apply it, because he can,
by examination, locate the exact point Of
bleeding, and will know just where the
pressure should come.
There are cases of nosebleed, fortunate
ly very rare, where it is impossible to
check the flow. These are caused by a
diseased state of the system which pre-
vents coagulation OF the blood, so that 1t
simply flows and flows away from the
sufferer like water. 1t is well that these
cases are rare, as they are generally fatal
in spite of all treatment.
