_Sneezing_ (Vol. v., pp. 369. 500.).--D'Israeli, in the first series of the
_Curiosities_, in a paper on the custom of saluting persons after sneezing,
says:
"A memoir of the French Academy notices the practice in the New World,
on the first discovery of America."
A relation of mine tells me, that when young, he once fell down in a fit
after a violent sneeze; the "Cryst helpe" may therefore not be totally
superfluous!
