TO FRESH WOUNDS.

The best medical writers and practi-
TONERS of surgery now discountenance
the use of applications to fresh wounds.
Years ago, when gunpowder was invent
ed, the surgeon encountered the gun-shot
wound for the first time, and his wise,
old, empirical head decided that every
wound made by bullet should have lin
seed oil hot enough to scorch a feather
poured into it; and this was faithfully
done until at a certain battle the supply
of oil was exhausted, and the men were
put off with a simple lotion, which, the
surgeons were surprised the next morn
ing to find, had left the patients in a far
better condition than those whose inju-
ries were complicated by the boiling oil |;
so the use of oil was discontinued, and
since that time the applications, salves
and liniments have been growing more
and more simple. During the rebellion
II had got down to simple cold water,
which is the least Objectionable, of any
foreign substance to apply to a raw sur
face of flesh. But that is now discarded,
and even capital operations are per
formed and dressed simply with raw
cotton, which serves as cushion for the
parts and allows OF swelling, without
necessitating the removal of the dressing.
The results of such dressing have been
so much of an improvement, that in
army and hospital practice no other
dressing is used and if carbolic acid
solution is now prescribed in civil prac-
tice, it Is done in Difference to the whim
of the patient or the friends, and to con-
tinue the impression that the physicians
services were required in the case.
As to the philosophy of this, it will be
sufficient to say that, in case of a cut, a
bite or a puncture of the flesh, nature at
once sets at work TO repair the damage,
and plastic material ooZes out from the
injured surface to cement or heal the
parts together, and the presence of any
foreign substance usually interferes with
the process. Therefore the best possible
treatment is TO protect the parts from
contact with anything injurious, and to
keep them from too great atmospheric
changes. Protection and rest are usual
ly all that is required for prompt heal
ing of wounds, but applications of vile
compounds compel healing by the slow
process of granulation, which, like the
siege Of 3 citadel, is done by cautious
and gradual approaches in the face OF
the enemy. We should put more conf
dence in nature and less in empirical
prescriptions, which often prolonkf In
stead of shortening the healing process

We paid . visit to this lively and
beautiful little city on the Arkansas a
few days ago. 1t is one of the best built
new towns in the West, its business
street being Ornamented on either side
by large, well built and handsome bust,
! ness blocks. It's public buildings are a
large court house, one of the best. and
hAndsomest school houses in the State,
and several very neat and commodious
2 churches. Business is good, the streets
being well filed with teams and the
! stores with people, and the merchants
busy. 1t has large and well stocked
i, stores, three printing offices, and its
population is in the neighborhood of
1900. Its people being noted for intelll-
q gehee enterprise and refinement, it is
one Of the most desirable places for q
residence on the Santa Fe road. 1t is
surrounded by q vast and productive
agricultural region, which promises per
manent support for large town.

sariona Accident.

News reached the city last Saturday
morning that a serious accident had
occurred to Mr.. T. G. whitley, while on
his return from the point where work is
. being done on the K. c., E. & s. railroad,
he having gone there with goods 70 sell.
. Just beyond Madison, while the team,
which was driven by Caleb jackson,
was going down hill, the breaking of a
tug caused their runaway, and Mr.. Wib-
10 ley was thrown out receiving, it is fear
ed, serious injuries. 1t is thought,that
his back is badly hurt, but whether from
e7 the kick of q horse or from the wagon
running over him, we could not learn.
The man who brought the news, Mr..
i's7 q Smith, . liveryman from Eureka, passed
through Madison that morning and says
that he was taken to that place and cared
for, tSo doctors being with him during
night. He was, however, unconscious
during the whole of the time Immedi-
IE z aiely On hearing this sad news Mr. Hen
son and Mrs. whitley started for Madi-
son, and expect if Mr., Wibley's condI
~ ton warrants Il 70 bring him homo with
them on their return. We trust his in
sSe juries win be found not as serious as at
present reported, and that we shall soon

FUEL WAsrED.--A common mistake
10 made and much fuel is wasted in
the manner Of replenishing coal fires
in furnaces and CRATES. They should
be fed with Ii tie coal ~ u time and
often; but servants, Ia save time and
trouble, put on q great deal At once,
the first result being that almost all
the heat is absorbed by the newly put
on coal, which does not give out heat
until it becomes red hot. Hence. for
q while. the room is cold, but when il
becomes fairly aglow the heat is i'm
sutfcrable. The time TO replenish q
coal fire is as soon a. the coals begin

put on merely enough TO show q layer
or black covering the red. This will
soon kindie, and as there il not much
