ELECTRICITY IN SURGICAL OPERATIONS.
Some observations have been made during
the last few days, by Mr. Marshall, at the Uni
versity College Hospital, London, on the eff
cheney of the electric current in benumbing
parts submitted to surgical operations by the
knife-the idea involved in these trials being,
of course, derived from its alleged advantages
in tooth-drawing. AS many as nine operations
requiring incisions of various kinds, including
cases Of abscess, carbuncle, and the removal Of
an adipose tumor, have been performed be-
tween the 9th and 18th of September. Ex-
cepting where the current employed appeared
to be too strong the pain of the missions ap-
pears on the whole to have been so modified as
to be more bearable than is usually the case.
In one instance, that Of an adipose tumor, the
cuts were very slightly painful. There was
10 instance, however, of complete anesthesis;
and it would be premature to f1atter ourselves
that, in regard to the effects of electricity in
cutting operations, anything more than mod
flying influence had yet been certainly OBJ
tained.-Ihe Lancet

HORSES AND STABLEs.-Blindness is very
common among horses in our cities. This is
caused in great measure by keeping them in
dark confined stable, and shading their eyes
with harness binders. Dark, ill-ventilated
cellar stables are quite common; this stupid
practice should be abolished because such sta
bles are very detrimental to the health of these
noble ANNALS All stables should be dry,
roomy structures, provided with windows to
afford abundant light, and should also be fire.
quently whitewashed. The horse is a native
of dry, sunny regions, and requires to be kept
dry and warm in order to attain to the greatest
perfection.
Close and confined stables, just like those
of that violent disease called the goaaderS. A
few years SINCE great ravages were committed
among the cavalry horses of France by this
disease, but it is now almost unknown i'll that
country This result has been brought about
by simply making larger stables, doubling the
size of the stalls, and securing good ventila-
ton. In proportion to their bulk, horses need
more fresh air than men, in order to perform
the function of sespiration, yet they are COM
monty coOped up in narrow stalls which are
not large enough to keep a dormOuse's lungs
at work.
AS the season is now approaching when
owing to inclement weather, horses will DO
more confined indoors, those who possess
such animals should devote some attention to
provide them with stables suitable to their ma
ture and wants, and by so doing they Will
greatly increase their health and logevity.

WINTER PROTECTIoN OF FRUIT TREEs.-
1t is meet, on the approach of winter, to heed
the lessons Of the past, and, by .iudicious fore
thought and prompt action, prevent recur-
renee OF such of the untoward events which
have in former years disappointed our expec-
tations or detracted from the sum total of our
pleasure or profit How many persons. on the
opening of the spring, have found some choice
fruit tree ruined, or nearly so, by being Cir
died by mice, while the lower portion of the
trunk was covered with snow? The labor and
expenditure Of several seasons are often thus
IN few days. rendered of no avail Those
trees standing contiguous to fences, or in close
proximity to buildings, where snow is most
prone to drift around them, are more exposed
than those in the open field. 1t has long been
the practice of cultivators to occasionally
trample down the snow around the tree, as a
protection, but as the melting of the snow pro-
crosses at the ground there is soon a pathway
for the vermin, of which they are not slow to
take the advantage. A pyramid of soil, six or
eight inches high, around the tree often af-
1ords the desired protection. Boxes of thin
boards about a foot high, are often placed
around the trunk, and answer avery good pur-
pose Recently, use has been made of horse
shoe drain tile for this purpose, and it proves
superior to either of the other methods named,
BY using two pieces of twO-inch tile, placing
them together so as to encircle the tree, an eff
fcient safeguard is obtained. AT the bottom
they may be held together by pyramid of
earth or fastened top and bottom with small
sized annealed wire, as mice eat off an ordina-
ry string, Tile of this size or larger when
the trees require it, are not very expensive,
and, if carefully laid away in the spring, would
serve the same purpose several years, and re-
pay many fold the original outlay.
We may add, in this connection, that grape
vines, raspberry bushes, and other ffuit-bear-
ing or Towering shrubs, that are injured by ex-
IRENE cold, may be effectually protected by
laying down and covering lightly with dry
earth, evergreen boughs, boards, or straw.
The latter is Objectionable, on account of har-
boring mice that would destroy the plants
Grape vines should be carefully taken from the
trellis, and laid so as to mar them as little as
possible. Care should be exercised that they
are kept from the wet as much as may be. At
tention to these things may save many valua-
bic plants and richly repay the time and labor

SCARLETINA AND MEAsLEs.-Mr. Witt,
member of the Royal College of Surgeons,
has published a pamphlet in which he states
that bicarbonate of ammonia is a specific for
the cure of scarlet fever and measles He
cites DIR. Peart of Liverpool, and other practi-
TONERS, who have never lost a case out Of hun
dreds since adopting this remedy. Two
drachms Of the bicarbonate of ammonia, are
dissolved in five ounces of water, and two ia
ble-spoonfuls of the solution, given every two,
three, or four hours, according to the urgency
Of the symptoms. No acid drink must be ia
ken, but only water, or toast and water. The
system is to be moved by dose of calomel, if
necessary The room must be well ventilated,
but the patient protected from the slightest
cold or draft. Gargles should also be employ
ed for clearing the throat. The ammonia
seems to counteract the poison which causes
scarletina, and also acts on the system by di-
minishing the frequency and at the same time
increasing the strength of the pulse. AS so
many children die from these diseases in this
country, this remedy ought to receive fair
trial from the profession.
