ACCORDING to Hamilton, the severest
catarrhal cold can be removed in about
ten hours by a mixture of carbolic acid,
ten drops; tincture of iodine and chloro-
form, each 7.5 drops. A few drops of the
mixture should be heated over spirit
lamp, in test tube, the mouth of which
should be applied to the nostrils as soon
10 of tal l,n
tion should be effected in about two min.
utes, when, after the patient sneezes q
number of times, the troublesome syhp-
toms rapidly disappear.
CHnBLAIN REMEDY.-When chilblains
manifest themselves, the best remedy not
| only from preventing them ulcerating, but
overcoming the tingling, itching pain and
stimulating the circulation of the part to
healthy action, is the liniment of bella
donna, two drachms; the liniment of
| aconite, one drachm; carbolic acid, ten
drops; to collodion flexile, one ounce;
painted with camel's-hair pencil over
their surface. When the chilbains vesi-
cate, ulcerate, or slough, it is better to
omit the aconite, and apply the other
| components of the liniment without it.
The collodion flexile forms a coating or
protecting film, which excludes the air,
while the sedative liniments allay the ir-
ritation, generally of no trivial nature

THE preservation of milk for several
months, as fresh and sweet as when
| drawn from the COW, is said to be OBJ
tanned by means of a recently-patented
| process. The milk is first placed in
cans or bottles, which are filled as nearly
| full as possible, and Immediately corked
tightly or hermetically sealed. The cans
or bottles are then placed in a bath of
water, heated to the same temperature as
the milk, in such manner as to allow a
| free circulation of water beneath and
around, but not over them. The tenn
perature of the water bath is then slowly
raised to between 100 and 17S deg. +.
The water is kept at this temperature for
a greater or less length of time, accord
ing to the period during which it is de-
sired to preserve the milk. One hour
will, it is claimed, preserve the milk four
or five weeks. Five hours heating is
enough for eight months or year. The
fire is then Withdrawn and the bath al
lowed to cool down slowly, after which
the cans are Withdrawn, and the operation
is completed.
