The effect wa.< in stantaneous ; I sneezed uo more. Again and' ;i«ain I tested the efficacy of this simple remedy, always wiih the same result. Uowever near I was to, a sneeze, the introduction of the pledgets stopped it at ono-o. Nor vv.is thcta any ineonvenieiVfe fwn their presence, making them sufficiently (inn not to tick.c nnd yet leaving them sufficiently loose to easily breathe through."
