Breathing Through The Nose

The pernicious habit of breathinj through the mouth, while sleeping orwak ing, is very hurtful. There are many per sons who sleep with the mouth open, and do not know it. They may go to sleep with it closed, and wake with it closed ; but if the mouth is dry and parched on waking it is a sign that the mouth has been open during sleep. Snoring is a certain sign. This habit should be overeóme. At all times, except when eating, drinking or speaking, keep the mouth firmly closed and breathe through the nostnls, and retire with a firm determination to conquer. The nostrils are the proper breathing apparatus - not the mouth. A man may inhale poisonous gases through the mouth without being aware of it, but not through the nose. -
