The Value of Opium as Plaster.

Despite its harmful influence there is no
drug i'll the materia medica that has so
wide range of therapeutic application as
opium, and the extensive plantations of it
i'll China and India are perceptively in
creased every year, owing to the general
demand for it. In the former country it is
used as domestic remedy, much as cam
phor Is i'll this country, and it is through
this universal use of it in China that at
tention has been drawn to it's great value
in surgical dressing. There is no other
dressing that quiets pain and checks nli
discharge of serum so effectuaily as opium,
and it does not have the disugreenble odor
OF iodoform nor the poisonous effects of BIZ
chloride OF mercury.
In case Of wounds 1t should be cut of in
small pieces and spread over the cloth so as
to form plaster nearly twice the size of
the wound. 1t will adhere to the wound for
weeks, relieving pain, preventing undue
discharges and healing the sore from the
first. 1t may he made to stick to the wound
by smearing n little Venice turpentine
around the edges, and by this means Tic
other dressing need be placed over it,

A large and appreciative audience
filed the spacious auditorium of the
First Baptist Church last night and
enjoyed one OF the most popular and
entertaining lectures ever delivered in

the hearts of his audience and move the

General Grant recommended that the
bayonet be abolished in the UnIed States
service and the six shooter he substituted
for close fighting. The recommendation
was good one. While the bayonet is the
most worthless of all weapons invented by
man, the six shooter is the most deadly
short range tool ever devised. Give me a
club three feet long and I'll whip any man
who tries to bayonet me; give me six
shooter and I'll make Il bad break IN any
column of bayonets.-Interview in St.
