Never use metal or other instru- ments in the nose to remove an ob- struction, This practice may cause serious nose-bleeding or even more dangerous conditions to arise, Hem- orrhage from the nose may also be caused by a blow, chronic catarrh, violent laughter, running or other strenuous exercise, holding the Dreath, or it may result from too hearty eating, very cold or very hot drinks. Whatever the cause, every- ‘thing should be done to prevent nose- bleeding, because if prolonged and frequent the homorrhages cause great drain on the system and lead to many serious disorders. Slight nose bleeding may be check- ‘ed by holding the head erect, enuf- fing cold water up the nostrils and holding the arms as high as possible. For more serious nosebleed a doctor should be called to administer nec- essary treatment. The skin on the nose and cheeks needs careful and daily (or nightly) treatment to keep it in condition, and no one remedy will benefit all varieties of complexion, 60 beginning STIES—MRS. K.
