A Doctors Diary.
A pocket-diary, picked up in the
street of neighboring city, would seem
to indicate from the following choice
extracts that the owner was a medical
man:
'Kase 230, Mary An Perkins. Bisnes,
wash-woman. Sickness in her he'd.

USES OF BIsULPHIDE OF CARBoN.-
Until the year 1850, the only industrial
application of bisulphide of carbon was
the dissolution and inflammation of In
dia-rubber. Since that time it has
been applied to the following uses l.
The complete extraction of the fatty
matter from bones used in the fabrica- !
ton of bone black. 2. The extraction
of oil from grain and olives. 3. The |
removal of sulphur from earth in which |
it is contained and also bitumen from |
bitumiOus rocks. 4. The securing and |
elimination of greasy substances from |
wool by the Seyferth and similar pro-
cesses. 5. The extraction of the soIu- |
BILE principle of spices. 6. The fabri- |
cation of yellow prussiate of potash, !
and of sulphocyanide of ammonium, for
making PharaOh's serpents. z. The pre-
paration of Greek fire q preparation
of phosphorus in the bisuIphide is used
for filling infiamatOry rockets or shells. |
8. For silver plating a small quantity
placed in the bath increases the brilIan-
cy of the deposit. 8. For the destruc-
ton of vermin. 10. For filling glass
prisms, on account of the brilliancy of
the colors of its spectrum. II. For
drying by its vapor all classes of en-
gines, with or without expansion.
THE QUESTION OF INoREMATIoS.-
The English Medical Press says The
of our readers may be advan-
directed to the subject of in
cremation of the dead preached by
Professor Polli. He repeats some of
5he arguments that have been used
against the process nowadays, when
sanitary science has made such advance,
when every inch of ground almost has
of value-in a country like
Great Britain, where the population is
nut of proportion to the area of soil,
md where the infection of water by the
of decaying animals, situa-
ed, it may be, even at a considerable
distance, has been proved to occur fire.
Iuently, and to give rise to sickness in
N intense degree, it really becomes a
question of consideration as to how far |
'urial in the earth may be hygienieally
orrect or convenient. Habit and the
of ideas have Injured us to
he habit of earth burial, so that it !,

Utility of such method being dis
