Nosebleed In Adults.

In the young epistaxis, or nosebleed, IS
of slight consequence; in the elderly or
the aged it may be serious symptom.
When middle -aged person has attacks
of nosebleed, the underlying cause must be
found, for it may be anything from some
slight change in the mucous membrane
OF the nose to organic disease or niallg-
nant growth.
The bleeding may be symptom OF dis
ease in the heart or the kidney or the liver;
although the blood comesfrom the nose the
nose itself is not always at fault. Some
times the hemorrhage is so slight as hardly
to cause remark on the part OF the patient;
sometimes it is so severe as to menace
life itself; in still other cases the loss OF
blood is distinctly beneficial for it relieves
some overburdened organ. That is the
case with middle aged persons whose nose
bleed is the result of Increased blood pres
sure due to troubles of the heart or the kid
neyS.
Any disease that interferes with the
return of the blood from the head into the
body may cause passive congestion OF
the mucous lining of the noSe-sometimes
seen in cases of valvular disease, or in
chronic bronchitis. Goiter or tumors OF
the neck act mechanically to produce the
same result. In stout, full-blooded adults
an attack of nosebleed is often preceded
by a severe headache or other symptom
indicating too much blood in the head, in
which cases the hemorrhage will relieve
the headache. The same thing is often
true in cases OF ti1nitus or noises in the
head. If the hemorrhage is severe, the
synptom-headache and tinnituS--nay
follow as result OF the anemIa.
A person no longer young who has recur
ring attack of nose bleed tor which ne can
find no local or mechanical cause should
have physician make thorough examln-
alton of him, to see that nothing ails his
kidneys, heart, lungs or liver.

THE OLD LAW FOR NEW TIMES
The International Sunday School Les
son for December IS, is "For-
qIveness," Matt. 18:15-35
IBY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

A feud among gamblers and police
officials has given New York City its
greatest sensation for years. The
feuds among the mountain folk OF Ten
nessee and Kentucky have long com
manded a nationwide interest. These
are not greatly different from the
tribal feuds Of the Bedouins OF Arabia
They represent the persistence or a
primitive passion in civilization
which presumably has got beyond the
usases of savagery. The cheerful
aspect of the situation Is that these
feuds are now notable. They deserve
mention because they are not normal:
they are news. The world knows bet
ter. 1t is facing toward a higher ideal.
Theoretically, at least, civilization ac-
cepts the laws of Jesus as supreme.
A Modern Saint.
One of the distinctive teachings of
Jesus is the doctrine of forgiveness.
Into the daily prayer Of all his disci-
pies he has written this conditional
petition, "Forgive us our debts as we
forgive our debtors" The primary
place of the old law of forgiveness in
the Christian life is even yet not fully
grasped by most of us. We can only
admire from afar such conduct as that
of the good bishop toward Jean Val
jean In LES Miserables.' --
High and hard it may be, but not
impossible is the teaching Of Jesus
concerning forgiveness. 1t was only
the other day that a woman, a hum
BILE seamstress, but a devoted Christ
ian, was attacked on the highway
by human brute. While officers
and citizens sought for the criminal,
the victims words were, Il am so
sorry for that poor man. He had
nothing against me personally. 1t
is only that his own life is ont of
relationship with God" Such an in
cident as this reveals the eternal
vitality and present practicability OF
the life lived by the law of Christ.
Shall Christians Go to Law? f., p
The supreme court for Christian
is not that which sits in robed state
on the bench erected by the civil
Here in this lesson from
the lips of Jesus, we see erected a
new tribunal If Christian sin
against Christian, says Jesus, the
first step is to go apart with him
alone, as man to man, and in frank
ness and confidence talk over the
fault. In counseling this, Jesus
showed his deep penetration of hui
man nature. A man will be reader
to own his fault when alone than be-
fore company.
There is nowhere in the bible or
in all the books of human wisdom
a counsel that when brother is
found in fault his offense shall
be told to the community. The

When a man-to-man conference fails
then the way laid down by Jesus Is
| for one or two brethren to be taken
into conference to consider the fault.
If this fail, then the subject is to be
taken into the church. For the char
acter and conduct of Christians is to
be regulated not by lower measures Of
the law of the land, but by the high
standards of Christ and his church.
The punishment of the church is that
of withdrawal Of fellowship. The man

Seven or Seventy Times7
That virtue should lead to greater
virtue, and not become an excuse
for sin, is hard for immature minds
to understand. Having done good
up to a certain point, reasons the
average man, is he not henceforth
freed from the obligation to continue
to do good? Or to put it in the
familiar question of perplexed Peter,
who had been doubtless subject to
sharp criticism from his fellow dis
ciples for his impulsive ways, Lord,
how oft shall my brother sin against
me and l forgive him?, Until seven
times?''
Peter reasoned crudely but natural
lily that if he had done the Jesus
way for seven times he should be
free to do the old Peter way for the
eighth time Having been saint,
he should thereby he justified in be-
coming sinner Not yet had he
perceived the profound truth that
one duty but leads to another; one
step in the way of saintliness put
makes possible other steps, and each
succeeding stage Of the journey
makes the whole way the more in
evitable. So Jesus denied to Peter
the luxury of lapsing into fit OF

vengeance Forgiveness was 10 be
