What is termed ''iring'' among
veterinarians has long been practiced III
the treatment of various diseases in the
bones OF the legs. for by passing red |
hot iron over the surface q blistering or |
superficial Inflammation. could be pro-
duced more rapidly than by applying |
any of the ordinary biistering 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 a 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.-M r.

The comfort which hot water bag
Dr. even hot brick may afford person
On retiring, chilled, is very great, and
beyond this, the use of some such
Varmth-producing appliance is useful
Is ahealth preservative and restoratiye.
But one Of the most convenient articles
% be. used as a bed-warmer and in a |
'ick room is sand bag. Get some /
lean, fine sand, dry. it thoroughly in a
'ettle on the stove, make bag about
light inches square of flannel, filI it with +
he dry sand, sew the opening carefully
ogether, and cover the bag with cotton
u iinen cloth. This will prevent the
and from sitting out aud viii also er,a.
lie you to heat the bag quickly by plac-
ne it in the oven or on the top OF the
tove. After once using this you will F
ever again attempt to warm the feet
r hands of sick person with q bottle
i not water or brick. The sand
olds the heat long time and the bag
an be tucked up to the back without
urting the invalid. 1t is a good plan
0 make two or three of the bags and
eep them ready for use.
