CarbOlie Acid Applied to Diseased
Lungs.

Prof. Mosler, Of Germany, is now
successfully treating phthisis, or pull
monary consumption, by making an in
cision through the wall of the chest and
drawing off the pus with a syringe, and
afterwards washing out the ulcers with
weak carbolic acid. No difficulty ap-
pears to have been experienced in the
operation, and the condition of the
patient was improved, the cough be-
coming less troublesome, and the febrile
symptoms apparently moderated. One
point, at least, is regarded as settled
and it is certainly one of great import
ance-so far as could be by a few ex-
periments of this character, namely,
that the local treatment of pulmonary
cavities is undoubtedly practicable, and
that the lung is really more tolerant Of
external interference than has been
generally believed. The uses of car
bolie acid are rapidly extending, and it
bids fair to become one of the most val
liable articles of the materia medica. 1t
appears to be speedy death to diseased
germs and fungus growths.

mediafeiy took up her cause and called
upon the offending party, who acknowl-
edged the fact. An apology was de-
manded and refused. and fight determ

train divided into three parties. One
favored the lady's cauee, another the Of

Friction impedes the progress of the

This apparent paradox is explained
when we remember that, by reason of
the frictional bite of the drivers upon
