IS YOUR NOSE
BROKEN?DON'T
Be too SURE
Many Smashed in Childhood
and Adults Never Know 1t,
Says Specialist.

SdJo SpcCIdIlSl.
ST. PAUL. Mimi. May 27.-Ever
have trouble with your eyes? No.
How about your ears, your eustachlan
tubes-work all right, do they? HIM!
bothered much with catarrh
Strange! Olfactory nerves doing pref
" well. are they? Can't understand it
at all. What we are getting at is this:
Your nose is broken.
Science, 1t appears. has known that
your nose was broken for long time.
OF course, science, not wishing To vio-
late the ethics OF the game, never said
anything to you about II. Now you
know 1t, and before you lose your eye
sight and your hearing we would ad-
wise you to have your nose tended to.
Just Feel for the Bump.
Run your fingers up and down the
bridge Of your nose. Slowly, firmly
and several times. Feel that bump on
one side? That's 1.-THE break, we
mean. This is how 1t happened:
When you were little boy or little
girl, say or years old. you fell down
one day and bumped your well-known
anterior extremity. 1t hurt, and it
bled and in all probability you let
everybody know 1t. Mother fixed 1t
up for you, kissed you and away you
went, perhaps to mash 1t again. Moth
er little thought. and you little cared
that you had broken your nose, but
you had.
Sufferers Number Thousands.
Don't take our word for it. We
offer you the authority of ST. Paul
specialist, DR.. II. A. Beaudoux, who
laughed when we expressed surprise
ut his opinion that thousands of peo-
pie are running around with broken
noses and don't know It."
1t isn't anything new to science, and
DR.. Beaudoux didn't think he was tell
ing fact worthy of special mention.
He was surprised that we were sur
prised.
People think that they have ca
tarrh. They have trouble with their
eyes or their ears. They don tbreathe
free and easy. In the great majority
OF cases their noses have been broken
in infancy. Cut the protrudlng part
of the bone away and right away the
patient feels like new person. In
most cases where the patient is thin
he will take on twenty pounds in
weight"
When the Effects Are Felt.
Naturally. II the patient is-shall wo
say plump-he won't care about hav-
ing an operation that will lend impetus
to his ayoirdupols, even II hts nose Is
broken. He'd rather shuttle along
with broken nose and weak eyes and
weak ears, breathe with difficulty now
and then, than take on additional
Doundage when he already has about
as much as he can tote around.
II seems you don't feel the effects OF
your broken nose until you get into
your twenties. You may be 80 or even
more. but sooner or later you are 60
ing to find out your nose is out Of gear,
but science tells us. now that we know
the worst, that 1t is extreme folly TO
neglect 1t.
Twists Tint Grow Wrong.
The reason you didn't know about
the thing when It happened is that at
. or 3 years Of age your bones are soft
and pliable. It might not be exactly
a break-lt might be more strictly TO
the point OF truth to say the bridge
Of your nose was twisted and then, like
Topsy, Just grew" that way. The
older you got the bigger the protrud-
ing part of the bone got. and now It is
up to You to repair the damage.
In telling us this Or. Beaudoux has
shattered one OF our pet
traditions-to-wit, that only prize
fighters wore fractured noses.
