Show Why Sleeper Emits Noises That Annoy A writer In the weekly bulletin of the Chicago department of health, mys that snoring seems to be particularly par-ticularly a human attribute, and says that there Is little in medical literature litera-ture relating to It. He says snoring 1j due to vibration of the soft palata ad uvula, produced by deep Inspiration Inspira-tion and expiration through the nose nd open mouth. The sleeper, If normal, sleeps with his mouth closed, breathing naturally through the nostrils, which prevents the vibration of the loose tissues of the throat. Snoring, as a rale, Indicates In-dicates a disturbance of the breathing breath-ing apparatus, especially obstruction In the nose, that prevents the sleeper from keeping the mouth closed. In children, the writer says, snoring snor-ing Is commonly an Indication of enlarged en-larged adenoids and tonsils. |
