Cause sad Care for Snoring.

A writer in the Scientific Monthly tells how the habit of snoring is acquired and, better—how it may be cured. And, first, the cause : The air reaches the lungs through two channels, the nose ana the month. The two currents meet in the throat below the soft of the palate, the end of which hangs loose and swings backward and forward, producing the snoring. If the air reaches tha tongs, aa it should through the nose, no noise will be made. If it reaches the same through the month, the palate will make more noise, since it is not the natural channel, bat when it rushes through both these channels, then it is that the sound'sleeper banishes rest from the pillows of his companions by his hideous pose Dr. Wyeth, the writer of the article referred to, has invented an article so cheap that any one can make it* and no snorer should be without it It consists of a single cap, fitting the head snugly, and a piece of soft material fitting the chin. These are connected by elastic webbing, which is connected with the head-cap near the ears. This contrivance.prevents the chin from dropping doWn, and thereby renders snoring impossibles The great trouble will be to get people to adopt this invention, since the most upright and honest of men and women wifl rarely, if ever, confess that they snore, and will Jie very indignant if accused of it As a fbrther inducement to the introduction of this contrivery detrimental to the health, and that many diseases of the threat and ipags are contracted or aggravated thereby.
