A SAD MISTAKE ABOUT PRINTERS. The
public have funny notion about printers.
They think it costs nothing to puff, adver-
tisc, &c. And thus one and another will
sponge an extra paper, a puff, or some be-
ncvoent advertisement. They forget that a
high price is paid for every type set. They
forget that it is this business that makes
their business known to the world. They
forget it is the printers ink that makes nire.
tenths of thos, immense fortunes. They
forget that it takes money to pay compost
tors-to buy ink, type and paper. And
lastly, they forget to even thank you fol
working for nothing by gratuitously putting
their business -Domocracy.

REMEDY FOR ScALps AND Burns.
American Medical Gazette, for March, calls
attention to an unfailing remedy for scalds
and burns. 1t says
"a few pounds Of wheat flour should be
promptly applied to the wounds made by
fire, and repeated until the unAammatory
stage had passed. We have never known
fatal case of scalding or burning in which
this practice has been pursued during more
than thirty years experience, and having
treated hundreds in both public and private
practice. Flour is the remedy, and the only
one, in severe cases Of scalding and burning
casualties which else so often destroy life
Let us keep it before the people, while the
explosion Of steam boilers and burning fluid
lamps are SO rife all over our country"
