EzOT WATER FOR INJURIES AND
BRUISES.

The New York Medical Journal reports
this case The patient was engaged in
machine shop, and while his hand was up
on the anvil of a trip hammer, the ham
mer-weighing 700 pounds-fell. 1t so
happened that a file was on the anvil, and
in this way the force of the hammer was
arrested about half an inch before it reach
ed it's bed. When the hand was examined
it Was found that the whole palm was
mass of pulp, The metacarpel bones were
comminuted extensively, and there was ap-
parently but small chance of saving the
hand. 1t was, however, placed in hot
water, and kept there for two or three
weeks, and then taken out and dressed.
In three months the patient was sufhci-
emily well to leave the hospital, and now
-nine months after the accident-he is
able to move the fingers, and has quite
useful hand" Bruises and injuries do
much better when treated with hot than
with cold water. The temperature should
be about 103 degrees F. Another case is
reported Of compound fracture and dislo-
cation of the ankle joint, in which the
proximal end of the first metartarsal bone
protruded from the foot. The dislocation
was reduced and the foot placed in hot
water. At the end of week it was taken
out and dressed in the ordinary manner.
The foot is now doing well and promises a
rood result.

Editorial Convention.

We have received a circular
addressed to all the editors and
publishers of newspapers upon
the Pacific coast desirous of pro-
noting fraternal feeling among
the craft, requesting them to
meet 1T the Palace Hotel, San
Francisco, at noon on the 9th
day of June, 1873, to take pre-
liminary steps for the organiza-
tion of Il Pacific Coast Press AS
sociation. Most heartily de we
approve Of the objects Of this
association, and willingly would
we make the journey to San
Francisco to aid in promoting
fraternal feeling among the craft
and in inculcating q more ele-
waited sentiment among editors
and publishers regarding the
dignity and responsibilities per-
taining to the publication Of
newspapers than seems to be
prevalent at the present time.
There is now no law or public
sentiment prescribing the quail
iications of an editor, as in case
of other vocations requiring
previous preparation, and the
consequence is that the quacks
and pretenders, standing upon
the same footing with those ed
ucatcd to the business. degrade
| the vocation below the standard
of other professions Of less in
fuence and responsibility in the
social organization. An Assocl
|
alton, similar to those existing
in the medical and legal profes-
sions, which would recognize as
members Of the craft only those
who had fitted themselves for
the important duties which they
were assuming to practice, would
have a good influence i'll bring
ing the vocation up to the stand
ard required in other profes-
sions, and to that end We would
be glad to cooperate with those
under whose auspices ihis con
vention is called.

A young religious convert who
was an Old and active party pol
itician, 4 few days after his con
version was seen in Il crowd
with his money in hand Offering
to wager on a pending election
His minister, passing at the mo-
ment, called him aside and rem
onstrated with him upon the ir-
religious character Of his con-
duct, which was calculated to
bring a reproach upon his pro-
fession. "Never mind, Elder,
this is a matter you have no con-
Germ with. Politics is one thing
and religion is another" was
the rampant reply of the disci-
pie. How many professed Chris
tians act upon this principle and
do things in politics that are not
consistent with their reli gious
professions, it IS not for us to
say, but We dare venture the in
timation that there are very few
Jealous partisans in politics who
are members Of Christian de-
nominations, and even clergy
men, who do not connlve at
measures for party success which
are very inconsistent with their
religious professions; and we
have all seen how often reli-
gious and denominational pre-
judices are appealed to to pro
mote political party interests.
The "Know Nothing party a
few Years ago almost swept the
country upon the utterly i'm
practicable abstraction Of oppo-
sition to the Roman Catholics,

powerful denomination. The

apprehension which is SO often

as unt0unded as the story told

Mr. Van Buren being then a
candidate for President and q
widower, it was reported by the
anti-Catholics that he was en-
