-Last year tT7oF nchstudentswaremuch

Of a retOrt filed with boiling sulphuric
acid. They were at once taken to q
druggist, III. AlaGOre, who covered their
faces 2mm. thick with a soft paste
made Of calcined magnesia and water.
In q few seconds, fssures appeared in
the magnetism mask, and q new layer
was then substituted The patients
were thus tended for five hours, after
which the one hurt the least was able
to wash his face, which merely showed
some reddish spots. The other had his
magnetism mask renewed during twenty
four hours. Suffering acUtely at first,
the students ceased to suffer IN less than
O quarter Of an hour. Their faces have
now no traces Of burns.
