A New CoUNTER-IRRITANT. "A ney
kindof mustard-plaster has been in
vented which promises to be superio
to the old-fashioned sort 1t il
known as the Omphalic mustard
plaster, and the mustard is laid OF
sheets Of a thin fabric in spots o.
about the size Of dime, SO that any
desired number can be applied. Il
is only necessary to dip in water and
lay the plaster on where desired. II
is claimed that the disposition of the
mustard in spots is the best way oi
applying this countar-irritant, as its
effects are copy Of the results Of
natural efforts which generally ap-
pear as spots or pustules-a rather
fanciful idea. The other claim is
better-that the skin is irritated only
in patches, and that the process Of
irritation can be continued longer
without unpleasant results in conse-
quence of patches of undisturbed
skin being left to execute the healing
process This method of making
plaster has also been applied in the
Omphalic fy-blister.
THERAPEUTIcAL Uses OF HoT BATHS.
Prof. Lasegue, in n paper on the
therapeutical uses of hot baths, re-
marks that these should be Of short
duration-from twenty to thirty min
utes at farthest--the temperature on
entering the bath to be lower than
that on quitting it, whatever extremes
it may reach in the meantime. and
the increase OF temperature always
to be made gradually. The maxi
mum should be 118 deg. Fair. nj
though 113 deg. is perhaps better
limit. This Temperature Is easily
borne, provided the escaping steam
be not felt on the uncovered portions
of the body, and also provided that
the maximum be not maintained over
eight or ten minutes. On leaving
the bath the patients is to be placed
in his bed, where he soon regains
not his true temperature, which has
