In the American Medical Gazette, DIR. Reese
thus earnestly reiterates his advice TO apply
-four to scaIds and burns: awe still see reS
ported almost daily, an appalling number Of
deaths by burns and scalds, not one of which
we take upon ouselves to say, need prove fatal
or would do SO, if few pounds of wheat flour
could be promptly applied to the wounds made
by fire, and repeated until the inaammatory
stage had passed We have notknown a fatal
case of scalding or burning in which this prac-
tice has been pursued, during more than thirty
years experience, and have treated hundreds in
both public and private practice. We have
known the most extensive burns by falling in>
to cauldrons of boiling oil, and even molten
copper, and yet the patient was rescued by this
simple aud cheap remedy, which, from its in.
fallibIe success, should supplant all the FASH
onable nostrums, whether oil, cotton, lead-
water, ice. turpentine, or pain.extractOrs, every
one of which has been tried a thousand times
with fatal results, and the victims have died in
excruciating agony, when few haBdfulls of
-four would have cAlmed them TO sleep, and
rescued them from pain and death. Humanity
should prompt the profession to publish and
republish the facts on t..is subject, which are
established by the authority Of standard medi-
cal works on both sides of the Atlantic.

Reautffml Doctrine.

The Rev. DR.. Bellows of New York, recen-
tly delivered an excellent address on mirth, in
the course of which he remarks:
"For my part say it in all soemnity, have
become sincerely suspicious of the piety of
those who do not love pleasure in any form.
cannot trust the man that never laughs; that
is always sedate; that has no apparent outlets
for those natural springs Of sportiveness and
gayety that are perennial in the human soul
kno" that nature takes her revenge on such
violence. Iexpect to find secret vices, malig-
nant sins, or borrid crimes sprnging up in this
hot.bed of confined air and imprisoned space;
and therefore, it gives me sincere moral graf
ification anywhere and in any community, to
see innocent pleasures and popular amuse~
ments resisting the religious bigotry that
froWns so unwisely upon them. ANYTHING is
better than dark, dead, unhappy social life
prey to ennui and morbid excitement, which re-
suits from unmitigated puritanism, whose
second crop is usually unbridled license, and
infamous folly"

CreOsote for Warts.-Dr. Rainey, of ST.
Thomas Hospital, London, has written an ar
ticle to the Lancet detailing the effects of
creosote applied to warts. He applided it
freely to an obstinate warty excresence of the
finger, then covered it over with piece of
sticking plaster. This course he pursued
every three days for two weeks, when the wars
was found to have disappeared, leaving the
part beneath ii quite healthy! This is certain-
remedy which can be easily applied by any
person.

A Cool SUindze.-We have never known of
quite so cool swindle as the following. A
yeung medical friend, residing at Port William,
Franklin Co. Mo-, subscribed, and paid in ad-
rance for the "Medical Congressional Repor-
fer" purporting TO be psblished at No. 5l2
Broadway, New York. About two weeks since,
he received in place Of the third No, the fol-
lowing note, with small parcel Of pill,:
No. 5l2 Broadway, N. Y, Nov g, 1865.
Dear Sir: The Medical Congressional Re.
porter having been discontinued, / send You
box of my Anti~Billions Pills, which il the
full price Of the Reporter. Yours, &c, II. K.
Root, M. ID.
We have not heard whether these pills loos~
ened the Money market at Port William.

1Success in any business requires thor
ough knowledge of the means and material
under employ. Place the levers of Iocomo-
tive in the hands of one who had never before
seen this powerful machine, and instead Of be-
ing able to drive It with speed Of the wind and
the precision of mathematics, he would be
sadly puzzled to know what FIRST to do with
his important charge. What could plough-
man do If required to superintend a cotton fac.
tory! or blacksmith The machinery of whole
sale merchant What could shop keeper ac-
complish if placed in charge Or threshing
machine, hofse~reaper, or subsoil plough!
We should oil doubt the sanity of the man
who would send for lawyer to set fracturs
ed limb, although he might point out to the
nicely Of hair, the rights, privileges, and lia~
bilities of John Doe and Richard Roe The
idea that men succeed BY sort oflueky guess
sing, instead of thorough mastery Of facts
and principles, is quite too prevalent.

At Cohstantinople, in which the writer says:

went in state, in all the pomp of majesty, sur.

costume and the haFness of bis stesd were re.
spiendsnt with jewels. His infirmities were
thus Disguised, and, though he sat his horse
awkwardly, no one would have imagined him
80 physically weak as be appeared to Be when
We afterwards saw him "with feeble steps ana
slow" walk from his eaique 30 the palace. He
does, indeed, look like "a sick man." and like
monarch whose kingdom is passing from hims

Better. Edition of the Bible wanted.

Better. Edition Of the Bible Wanted
The Edinburg Review has an article on the
inconvenience of the common editions of the
Bible. "There are dear Bibles" says the re-
viewer, "and cheap Bibles There are Bibles
so large that your hand can with difficulty raise
them; and there are Bibles so small that they
can be carried about in your pocket; there are
Bibles Of which the paper is as glossy as satin
and as thick as psste-board; and there are
Bibles of which the paper is so dark that the
printing is hardly discernible, and SO thin that
the leaves crumple beneath your iuger in turn
ing the pages; but nevertheless, among all these
innumerabIe and variously diversified editions,
no Bible has been hitherto produced which can
be read with as much case and comfort as an
ordinary book. There is no such thing as a
readable Bible"
The writer commends improvements. Fret
that the Bible should be printed in several
volumes Second, that the text should be res
vsed. Third, that the verse system of division
should be abolished, and the division be made
as the subject changes. Fourth, that inverted
commas should indicate passages spoken or
quoted. Fifth, that the double.column should
be abolished. He thinks there should be one
edition of the Bible in which the writings of
each author should form a distinct volume.
These suggestions are certainly worthy of
consideration by publishers.

The Decay 9fthe Mind-"The failure ofthe
mind in old age, in my opinion" says Sir BEN

Incidence decay Of mentvl power, ennui and
sometimes death. Men have Been known TO

The Fruits Of War.-The Albany Evening
Journal publishes list of the battles fought
during the year 1855, with the number of peo
pie killed at each, beginning with the lombard
ment of fShanghai by the French, at which one
hundred fell, and ending with the fall of Kars
at which 1000 fell; by which list it appears
that twenty three battles have occurred during
the year, or more than one for each week, with
an avarage loss of over thousand men killed
in each. This list does not include those who
have fallen by disease, or in skirmiales, nor the
wounded, disabled, those who died in the hos
ptal or the ambulance, or were irreparabIy
manned or missing, or prisoners. Tbf aum-
Der left dead upon the field usually comprises
about one fourth Of the entire loss in a battle,
By this rule, the entire number swept out of
useful existence by the wars Of 1855 must have
reached 100000 men. No year as presented
So bloody record since Waterloo.
