Tho growth of the nulls on the right hand Is In most people more rnpld than of those on tho left hand. Another curi ous point Is that the rate of growth of tho nail depends directly on the length of the finger; thus the nails on the two middle fingers of nn grow more rap Idly than those or. the first and third fingers respectively, and these In turn are more speedy In the growth thnn those on the little finger.
