Healing Raw Surfaces.

Nearly year agO, DR.. c. +. Waters,
of Boston, made the discovery that the
bicarbonate of soda, if applied to a
burned or scalded surface, promptly sub.

ly, on space seven Centlmeters broad,
all around nis wrist The application OF
the bicarbOnate immediately relieved
the pain, and if all had gone well the
burn would have been cured IN Il week.
But the doctor was careless, ana per
mitted his cuff button TO catch and tear
the bliilered skin, and further trouble
of the same sort was caused by friction
on the edge Of the cuff. The result was
that while the rest OF the burn WAS soon
cured, the part thus torn became q

this theory by removing the scab from

Space after space Of the sore surface wa

the sore, the time Of healing varied from
twenty.tour to thirty-six hours; but il
each instance new skin formed comple,e

point is to dry the wounded surface gent
