HOW TO SNEEZE, COUGH AND SAVE
ANNOYANCE TO PERSONS NEAR YOU
By WILLIAM BRADY, NJ. D.

n ATOwADAYS the doctor has to teach
IN people how TO stand, sit, breathe. eat
brush the teeth dress. work and play.
We have offered suggestions about all of
these things in this department Now let
us explain how one should SnecZc, blow
the nose and cough.
a good, hearty sneeze is an excellent
thing for the health. II is natures own
antidote or prophylactic against coryza
and various other infections gaining en-
trance through the nasal mucous mem-
brane. To suppress a SnCeze, for little
while, as pending the conclusion Of the
sermon preachers generally are brief
nowadays), you make gentle pressure
upon the upper lip upward against the
base of the nose with the edge Of the
index finger But to muZ2le a sneeze
which is bound TO come, and for the sake
Of your health should come, you simply
hold your handkerchief over your nose,
thus avoiding the spraying Of the atmOs-
saving your neighbor from catching your
cold" II you fail in this duty you deserve
punishment quite as much as the impos-
sible person who spits on tho floor
Most people injure themselves in blow
ing the nose. The wrong way to do this
is by graspinE the prOhoscis firmly be-
tween the fingers and blowing for all the
world as though the intention were to
balloon the lungs and burst the ear-drums
The right way is by closing only one nos
tril at a time by pressure and then blow
ing the other. This obviates the risk of
forcing infectious secretions up into the
Eustachian tube and perhaps setting up
earacte and Inflammation of the middle
ear Also il gives "A more effectual clear
ing of the nasal passage Also il causes
no al normal congestion.
