According to a Loudou surgeon, “ Tommy” Burns,, the pugilist, has an absolutely unmarked uose. “The bridge is perfectly straight.’’ says the surgeon, “and had 1 not known that he was a, champion boxer I should have said he had never been hit there in his life. Not ono boxer in 500 has a perfectly straight nose, because that organ is so delica.tc as to be suspcctible to the slightest knock. In the case of Bunm there is no evidence that the nose has over been struck. Furthermore? there is not a single mark on bis bond that would indicate participation in boxing; yet J am told that he lias appeared in ‘ uea.tt* seventy contests.”
