HEALING RAW SURFACES. Nearly 6
year ago DIR. e.. r. Waters of Boston
made the discovery that the bicarbo-
nate OF soda, If applied to burned or
scaldej surface, promptly subdued the
pain. He performed some = bat i'm
pressiye experiment to prove his di.-
covery he scalded himself severely on
a space seven cenumetres broad, all
round his wrist. The application of the
bicarbonate Immediately relieved the
pain, and If all had gone well the burn
would have been cured in a week. But
the doctor was careless, and permitted
his cuff button 10 catch and tear the
blistered 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
troublesome, suppurating wound.
Studying the subject, DR.. Waters
thought that possibly vegetable albu-
men might answer the sam, purpose
that animal albumen is supposed TO, in
I the formation of dermal scales. He
proceeded 10 test this theory by re-
moving the scab from a portion of the
wound, drying the surface with blot
ting paper, and then Immediately APP
plying the white juice OF the common
milkweed (Asclepias syriaca). Space
after space of the acre surface was thus
treated, each portion being allowed to
heal successfully before the next par,
was tried. According to the depth o.
the sore, the time of healing varied from
twenty-four to thirty six honTs: but il
each instance bew skin formed com
pletelv across. The doctor states, as I,
lie new discovery, that the only essen
tial point is TO dry the wounded surface
. gently and thoroughly with blottin,
J paper before applying the milk " eet
Juice. From the description, it appear
, that after the Juice was applied, an,
while the healing was in process,
piece of blotting paper was also used +
, cover the surface.

Cellars should be kept free from all
decaying substances. The presence o (
decaying vegetables in cellars is q pro-
life cause of diptberia, fevers and i'll
health generally. The impure air Of
cellars is diffused throughout the dwell
ing; and if dampness is added TO the
impurity the bad effects will be greatly
increased. Dampness Of cellars is q
frequen, cause of consumption, neural
gia, rheumatism and other diseases. In
short, the cellar needs to be looked to as
closely as any portion of the house.
