that in all those cases where ii is desira-

all discharges from the wound, or ulcer,
or whatever it may be, the ordinary mos

all the indications. Bundling dressings
are avoided in this way, the parts are
kept cool, the discharge goes on unre-
strained, and at the same time support is
maintained. If the discharge is consid-

netting serves an admirable purpose in
dressing large assesses; for instance,

are to be associated.

these peculiarities were derived from a
family in which they have existed from
time immemorial. If by any means a
family inheriting such peculiarities
should become isolated, the consequence
would probably be a sexadigital race,
