A Cure for Snoring 9 There is a widely popular misapprehension as to the true nature of snoring. It is almost universally regarded as a mere weakness of the flesh, whereas it is really a crime, and should be treated as such. Instead of being an involuntary act, it is a wilful and shameless outrage. In these clays, when men constantly travel in sleeping cars, some efficacious prescription for the prevention aud cure of snoring is eagerly desired. The most popular remedy is soap — the yellow variety being preferable — inserted in the mouth of the snorer. As a rule, the criminal always lies on his back, and keeps his mouth open. If a wedge-shaped piece of soap, about tho size of a piece of cheese, is placed in the snorer's mouth, he will undergo temporary strangulation, and then sit up and make theological remarks. The trouble with this remedy is that it is not lasting in its effects. Of course, if he be killed, his snoring is permanently cured, but the sickly sentimentality that is so common on our days renders men loath to kill even tho most abandoned snorer. Still, it is something to know that there is a way of silencing the loudest snore, and at the same time doing somethinglike justice to tho wretched victim of an atrocious and wholly inexcusable vice.
