A RemnrknhIo snrgIcnI operatIon.

Six weeks since a young man Of
twenty-five swallowed some sulphurio
acid, thinking it was water. His pain
was extreme. He wal csrrid to st Louis
hospital. The surgeon saw that a por-
tien Of the stomach was g~angrened and
determined upona an operation, excusable
only by imminence Of death. He opened
the abdomen, seized the viscera with a
pair of pincers, drew it gently out Of the
abdomen, cut out all the gangrened
portion, sewed the v%iscera, put it back
in its old place and sewed the abdomen.
The young man is now we'll. There are
only fifteen similar surgical operations
on record. n

of scarlet fever by DR.. ii. Pigeon, by
the use of sulphur. It appears that all
the cases in which he employed this rem
edy were well marked, and the epider-
mis- on the arms in each case came away
like the skin of a snake. The patient
was thoroughly anointed twice daily,
with sulphur ointment, and five or ten
grains of sulphur given in a little jam
three times n day. Sufficient sulphur
was burned twice daily, on Goals on a
shovel, to ill the rooms with the fumes,
and, Of course, was thoroughly inhaled
by the patient. DIR. Pigeon asserts that,
under this mode OF treatment, each case
improved Immediately, and none were

home letter in which the following
words OF wisdom are addressed TO the
people of this countrY:-

system OF education, complete in sll its
parts, managed by the people. and not
IN the hands OF any sect or party. l
say complete in all its parts, because
am convinced that high school instruction
must form part OF such systcm in
order that the public schools in general
may be kept in proper efficiency. As

while retrenchment is carried out in 9TH

our educational system, will be, how can
we develop it more thoroughly Lot Us
save IN other ways than by scrimping
salaries and mutilating departments, and
thus gradushy driving out our best In
