i It was formerly the practice anions
physicians to carry a cane having n
hollow hca<l, the top of which was
1 gold, pierced with holes like a pepper
| box. The top contained a small
I amount of aromatic powder or of
j snuff, and on entering the house or

strike his cane on the floor to agitate
the powder and then apply it to IiIh
