What is termed '.firing" among
veterinarians has long been practiced in
the treatment of various diseases in the
bones of the legs. for by passing a red
hot iron over the surface blistering or
superficial Inflammation could be pro-
duced more rapidly than by applying
any of the ordinary blistering COM
pounds. But the necessity for such
severe measures, even for bone spawn,
is questionable, and we are pleased
to see that some of our best
veterinarians have placed firing
along with bleeding as unnecessary
and cruel practices of times past. c. w.
Gregory, member of the Royal College
of Veterinary Surgeons, England. de-
clares that during the past ten years he
has not fired single horse, and finds
that mild and painless treatment is more
speedy, more effective and more perma-
nent. He also unhesitatingly declares
that firing is unscientific and an unnec-
essarily cruel operation. and should be
entirely abandoned in all cases where it
has been heretofore practiced.-N y

The comfort which hot water bag
or even a hot brick may afford person
on retiring, chilled, is very great, and
beyond this. the use of some such
warmth-producing appliance is useful
as health preservative and restorative.
But one of the most convenient articles
to be used as bed-warmer and in a
sick room is a sand bag. Get some
clean, fine sand, dry it thoroughly in q
kettle on the stove, make bag about
eight inches square of flannel, fill it with
the dry sand, sew the opening carefully
together, and cover the bag with cotton
or linen cloth. This will prevent the
sand from sitting out and will also ena-
BILE you to heat the bag quickly by plac-
ing it in the oven or on the top of the
stove. After once using this you will
never again attempt to warm the feet
or hands of sick person with bottle
of hot water or brick. The sand
holds the heat long time and the bag
can be tucked up to the back without
hurting the invalid. 1t is a good plan
to make two or three of the bags and
