REASONS FOR THE sNEEzE.
Superficial Irritation Is tho Most Com.
mon, but There Are Many Other
Causes.

There Is more than one cause for
sneezing. and persons may differ in
their susceptibility to them. A bright
light will cause some persons to sneeze,
the pollen Of certain plants will affect
others, and most people are likely to
sneeze in the presence of dust Such
sneezing is due to superficial irritation.
The sneeze caused by the effect OF
cold is different. 1t is an attempt OF
nature to cure you. She makes you
sneeze for the same reason that she
makes you shiver-to generate heat
for warming the blood and preventing
you from taking more cold-to helm
TO relieve the cold you have.
The sneezing from cold is not an act
Of the nose alone. this being merely
the part OF the entire body. during
which every muscle gives a junp. The
body is affected by spasmodic effort
to warm the entire system and throw
