contrary, several kinds at meal, other

quality is the measure OF health.-

SNALL-Pox.-We again call the atten.
ton OF our readers to the importance of
early vaccination, in order that they may
thereby secure the measurable protec-
ton it gives against smallpox, and be-
cause the degree of protection it gives
may now be had without the danger Of
being inoculated with some terrible dis
ease that has always attended the use of
humanized vaccine. The thirty estab-
lishments in the United States where
vaccine is taken direct from thoroughly
| healthy calves OR young cattle afford an
abundant supply, stored on ivory points,
and obtainable by all druggists and ply
slclans, at very moderate cost. The
fact OF having been vaccinated years
since does not afford proof of continued
safety, and, while successful vaccination
is not an infallible safeguard against
smallpox, it renders its fatal termina-
ton, il contracted, highly improbable.
Vaccinetion should be avoided when the
system is suffering from manifestations
OF q tendency to erysipelas OF infamma-
ton of any kind. AS rule, children
while teething shouldnot be vaccinated.
We also again remind our readers of the
fact that pinch of powdered sulphur

ever they are changed is, to very con-
siderable extent. absorbed by the sys-

against the contraction of very nearly
all contagious diseases. Sulphur puri-

BURNS AND SCALDs-IMPoRTAN REM
EDY.-Four years since this paper rec
commended the use of bicarbonate OF
soda, that is the common cooking soda,
for most kinds of burns. Since then
frequent experiments and observations,
the opinions of physicians and the best
medical journals have more than con-
firmed all we then said. As burns and
scalds are always liable to occur, and as
this remedy, though simple, has proved
to be extraordinarily useful, it should
be fixed in the mind Of every one. The
soda, and the carbonic acid so readily
set at liberty from it, have an@sthetic
antiseptic and disinfecting properties
all highly beneficial for burns. Fol
slight burns cover all the injured parts
with layer of powdered soda. Fol
deeper burns, but where the skin is no,
broken, dip linen rags in a solution
made by dissolving about one-third O.
an ounce Of the soda in pint of water
lay the rags on and keep them mois
with the solution. For very severe
burns, followed by suppuration Gorma
ton OF pus), apply the rags in the same
way, keeping them moist but frequent
~ exchange them when dry for fresl
ones, and carefully wash off with til,
soda solution any matter that has accu
mulated underneath, so that it may no
be absorbed into and poison the blood
Leading European medical journals give
numerous instances in which, by The
above treatment, extensive burns of s
very severe character have healed speed
ly, leaving little scar.-American Ag
