WHY YOU SNEEZE.
There is more than one cause for sneezing, and persons may differ in their susceptibility to them. A bright light will cause some persons
to sneeze, the pollen of certain plants will affect others, and, most people are likely to sneeze" in-the presence of dust. Such sneezing is clue to superficial irritation. The sneeze caused by the effect of a cold is different. It is an attempt of Nature to cure you. She makes you sneeze for the same reason that she makes you shiver —to generate heat for warming the blood and preventing you from taking more cold —to help to relieve the cold you have. The sneezing from cold is not an act of the nose alone,, this being merely the part of the. body where it explodes. It is an act of the entire body, during which every muscle gives a jump. Tne body is affected by a spasmodic effort to warm the entire system and throw off cold.
