Tho Specific Qualities which They Do
Not Have.

ANU 6pccihC 1hcy Do
Not Have.
Some suppose that there are very pc
culiar and specific drawing" or
''healing," qualities in poultices, and
are at great pains and expense to pro-
cure certain compounds for this pur-
pose, because they have heard some
old granny or ignoramus declare that
they possessed woodworking quail
ties; and not unfrequently injury is
done by these ridiculous and worthless
applications, and better ideas ought to
prevail as to so valuable an application
as a well-advised poultice. Let all I'M
derstand, then, that poutices possess
no drawing" 'healing," curative,
or specific qualities, and there is no
difference in the applications made, so
far as the effect is concerned, provided
they are moist, soft and porous. Thus
in cases of boils and iniiamed swellings,
where the surface ishot, dry and hard,
the object is to soften, open the pores,
and carry off the heat and reduce the
swelling and Inflammation; and all that
is needed is warmth. and continued
moisture with a porous substance
which will take up the heat and the
impurities in cases of old ill-condi-
toned and suppurating sores; and any
preparation or compound which best
effects these ends is the best poultice.
/ will add that common cloth, wet
in cold, cool or warm water, as the case
may require, will be equally efficient
when changed as often as it may be-
come nearly dry, or too warm, will be

Portable, MS it will not be unnecessarily
heavy. Twill also add that such wet
cloth will eff ct far more good than
any salve, ointment or liniment with
which [ am acquainted, and will be far
less expensive. Were Wa .er far more
expensive, more difficult 10 obtain, it is
very possible that its virtues would be
more generally understood and apprc-
ciated. DR.. Hdaaford, M Golden hale.

RUssIA's REPLY TO ENGLAND's PRO-
PosALs.
LONDON, April 4.-The Pail Mall
Gazette this afternoon states that the
reply of Russia to England's pro-
posals concerning the Afghan frontier
line dispute is most conclliatory. The
Russians earnestly wish the joint
commission would commence the
work of settling the frontier as soon
as possible. They accept the princi-
pal of the definition of zone of sur
vey, but instead of drawing the
southern boundary of the zone at what
they consider the north line frontier
of Afghanistan, which is an imagina-
~ line drawn across the desert steppe,
they propose that the line of zone sur
vcy be carried up TO only the natural
line of demarcatioa, existing namely !:
the Dorkus, a spur of the Parapamis-
MS. The difference between the En-
glish and the Russian proposal, the
Pail Mali Gszettl says, is that the
zone proposed by Russia would in
cIude triangular piece of stenpe
Twenty to fifty miles wide, which
would be excluded from the zone of
survey within which the English
propose to confine the work of the
boundary commission.
Tie nature of the reply of NJ. De-
Giels to the English proposals makes
II necessary TO prolong the eriod of
correspondence letw cen the two
powers OH the Afghan question. AS

England and Russia to meet and ad-
