The New York Medical journal re.
Gently contained a paper ON ozone in
the treatment OF diphtheria, written
by Doctor Irving S. Haynes, which
deserves attention and is in the nature
OF a medical discovery. Appropriation
OF ozone has been used in cases OF
tuberculosis with success, and the new
preparation which Doctor Haynes has
employed in diphtheria is called 'thera.
pol" 1t has been used in cases OF
diphtheria which had been given up,
and In six cases out of seven of this
class recovery has been effected. The
treatment is the swabbing of the throat
with therapol, and the injection of the
liquid into each nostrii of the patient,
who is kept upon HE back SO that the
disinfection OF the entire nose and
throat can be secured. The treatment
is completed by the use of the usual
iron mixture as gargle, and where tbs
larynxis attacked, calomel fumigations
must be used. The membrane il dis
solved usually in from eight to forty
eight hours, its removal depending
upon the severity OF the attack.

FASHION NOTES

Sleeves continue to be full at the top,
but in breadth rather than height. In
fact, except for evening dresses, the
shoulders are not often raised at all.
Some women prefer simple white
gowns for the cloudy days, and the
pure white pique quits are excellent if
not intended to encounter a down
pour.
Lansdowne in' changeable effects is
especially popular this season, and it
changes in soft, lustrous folds, wears
well and is shown in great variety of
shades.
Slored cores let into the back of
lounging gown produce a graceful
bell effect, and An oddly-shaped sailor
collar heightens the attractiveness of
the garment.
Narrow-trimmed hats, somewhat on
the sailor order, but with brim narrow
at the back, are trimmed with solid
wreaths of roses aud chrysanthemums
and other similar blossoms.
A bell skirt has Ave bias folds of
graduated width, set equal distances
apart. The lower fold is about three
inches wide. and the others grow grad
ually narrower toward the top.
