one of the strongest predisposing

We have repeatedly stated that in
advanced stages of big head there is no
cure. The bones have commenced to
waste away, and when this consump-
ton of the bones has set in there is no
medicine or treatment known that will
check it. 1t is disease peculiar to the
Mississippi Valley and Western prai-
ries, and is supposed to be due to innu-
triton. 1t may be prevented by feed
ing more bran, oats and barley, and
less corn; also using tonics liberally,
such as cinchona, nuN vomica, boneset
and willow bark. For nearly or quite
century this disease has been known
among the cattle and horses of the
Western States, but preventives are
seldom used or thought of by those
who are in the regions where it is most
prevalent. N. \. Sun.
How to Make Poultice. DR..
Brunton, in Bruin. the new London
periodical, gives the following useful
hints on this subject: The common
linseed meal with hot water and apply
ing it directly to the skin is quite
wrong, because if we do not wish to
burn the patient we must wait until
great portion of the heat has been lost.
The proper method is to take flannel
bag, the size of the poultice required,
to ill this with the linseed poultice, as
hot as it can possibly be made, and to
put between this and the skin n second
flannel, so there shall be at least two
thicknesses of flannel between the skin
and the poultice Above the poultice
should be placed more flannel, or
piece of cotton wool, to prevent it from
getting 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 grateful sense of
relief, 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
q poultce in this manner.
