Beware the Night Air.

A correspondent of the London Lancet gives a useful hint to persons whoso duties take them much into the night air. He says that whoa facing a cold east wind or breathing quickly;tho night air he. never quite closes Ids mouth, but keeping the lips a trifle parted he curls up his tongue towards die roof of his mouth until the tip reaches ns far back as the soft palate, when the arched undersurface of tiio tongue is pressed against the hurd palate. Tho cold air then, as it enters the mouth, is made to pass between the sides of tho longue and the buccal mucous membrane of the phnrynjf, and thereby so wanned that by the twno it reaches the larynx it is rid of chill and does not excite cough and catarrh. Some people cannot breathe through the nose ulone. which is the right thing to do in the night air, or, indeed at any time, and for such the plan recommended above Is a good one.
