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-

San. 1s
The comfort which hot water BAG |
or even 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 |
sick room is . 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 !
and cover thebag 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 win |
never again attempt to warm the feet
or hands Of a sick person with & bottle
Of hot water or a brick. The sand \
holds the heat a 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
keep them ready for use.
