A REMEDY FOR BURNS.


Soda Bi-CarbonRte.
1t is now many years ago that the author
of this paper, while engaged in some inves'
legations as to the qualities and effects. of
the alkalies iR inilammations of the skin,
etc., was fortunate enough TO discover that
a saline lotion, or saturated solution OF
bi-carbonated soda in either plain
water or camphorated water, if applied
speedily, or as soon as possible, to q
burned or scalded part, was most etlectual
in Immediately relieving the acute burning
pain; and when the burn was only super
fetal or not severe, removing all pain in
very short time having also the very great
advantage of cleanliness, and if applied
at once of preventing the usual conse-
quences-a painful blistering of the. skin,
separation of tine epidermis and per
hqpg moro or loss Of suppuratipn.
For this purpose all that Is
necessary is to cut a piece Of lint or
old soft rag or even thick blottingpaper, of
size sufficient to cover the burned or
scalded parts, and 20 keep it constantly
well wetted with the sodaic lotion, so as to
prevent its drying. by this means il usu-
ally happens that all pain ceases in from a
quarter to half an hour, or even in much
less lime. When the main part of limb,
such as the hand and forearm or the foot
and leg has been burned, IL is best
when practicable TO plunge the part at once
into jug or pail or other convenient YES
sci filled with the soda lotion and keep i
there until the pain subsidies, or the limb
may be swathed or cncircled with sur
geon's cotton bandagc previously soaked IN
the saturated solution and kept constantly
wetted with Il, the relief being usually inn
mediate. provided the solution be saturated
and cold Practitioner.
