THERE is Pesisely one cure for snoring, and it is to Sir Humphrey Davy that we owe its discovery. ‘That eminent scientific person ascertained that snor- ing is due to an abnormal vibration of the chords of the larynx, and that this vibration occurs only when the surface of the larynx has become dry. A man who sleeps with his mouth open until his larynx has become dry by contact with the atmosphere is sure to snore, Sir Humphrey saw at once that in order to cure a snorer his larynx must be kept moistened or relaxed. He found by a series of experiments upon a Methodist preacher of unusual snoring powers that a piece of Castile soap inserted in the open mouth of the snorer effected an instant cure and warded off any further attack of snoring for at least twenty-four hours. Repeated applications of soap broke up the habit of snoring, and thus effected a permanent cure. According to Sir Humphrey Davy, castile soap, which is composed of olive-oil and soda, is decom- -d the moment it comes in contact with the juman tongue, which has a wonderful affinity for oxygen. The olive-oil being thus set free, lubri- cates and relaxes the larynx, while the sodium is forcibly expelled in the shape of strongly alkaline language by the snorer, who awakes the moment the decomposition of the soap begins, It is seldom necessary to administer castile soap more than three or four times ; and the most obstinate case of snoring known to medical men was cured with six doses.— Solemn editorial by W.
