Talking
through the Nose
Q. How can the habit of "talking through the
nose" be overcome?
A. Of course, no one talks through the nose. The
peculiar style of talking to which this term has been applied, is due to
obstruction of the nostrils, so that it is really talking without the nose
instead of through the nose. It is not merely a habit; it is generally due to
disease. The remedy is to be found in removing the obstruction from the nose.
The obstruction may consist of polypi or other growths, or a mere thickening of
the mucous membrane. A good specialist should be consulted.
