Mississippi Valley and Western prai-

triton. 1t may be prevented By feed
ing more bran. oats and bar.ey, and
less corn; also using tones liberally, /
such as ~cinchona, nuy vomica, bonesct

How 10 Make a Poultice. DIR. |
BruntoD, i'm BrdiR. the new London
periodical, gives the following useful
hints on this subject: The common
practice of making p%oultices BY mixing
linseed meal with hot water and apply
ing il directly to the skin is quite
wrong. because if we do not wish To
burn the patient we must wait until a
great portion of the heat has been lost.
The proper method is TO take a flannel
bag. the size of the poultice required,
to ill this with the linseed poult.ce. as
hot as it can possibly be made. and To
put between this and the skin a second
flannel, SO there shall he al least two
thicknesses of flannel between the skin
and the poultice- Above the poultice
should DC placed more flannel, or 4
piece of cotton wool. to proven; 1t from
cold. BY this method we are
able TO apply the linSeed meal boiling
hot, without burning the patient, and
the heat, gradually diffusing through
the flannel, affords n grateful sense o!
which cannot be obtained by
other means. There are few WAYS in
which such marked relief is given to
abdominal pain. as by the application of
4 pOultice i'm this manner.
