A Cure for Warts.

1t is said to be fairly established
that the common wart, which is so un-
slightly and annoying on the hands and
face, can be easily removed by small
doses of sulphate of magnesia taken
internally. M. Colrot, of Lyons, has
drawn attention to this extraordinary
fact. Several children treated with
three-grain doses of EPSON salts,
morning and evening, were promptly
cured. M. Aubert cites the case Of n
woman whose face was disfgurcI by
these excrescences, and who WAS cured
in 6 month by dram and half of
magnesia taken daily. Another medi-
cal man reports a case of very LARGO
warts which disappeared in fortnight
from the daily administration CT ten
grains of the salts.

Great Human Endurance.

President Jeremiah Head of the Sec
tion of mechanical science of the Brit
ish Association for the Advancement
of Science in his annual address calls
attention, among other things, to the
power in man to withstand varyingat-
mospheric prcssures. "Thus, nj
though fitted for an extreme atmos-
pheric pressure of about fifteen pounds
to the square inch, he has been en-
abled, rs cxemplified by Messrs.
Glnisher and Coxwell in 1862, to as-
cend to n height of seven miles and
breathe air at n pressure of only three
and onehalf pounds to the square
inch and still live. And, on tho other
hand, divers have been down into the
water eighty feet deep, entailing all OK
ira pressure of about thirty six pounds
per square inch, and have returned
safely. One has even been to n depth
of $50 feet, but the resulting pressure
of sixty seven pounds per square inch
cost him his life. These are, however,
extreme cases. Most men experience
great Inconvenience ut any altitude
over two and one-half miles, and few
can stand the rarefied atmosphere
above the three-and-a half-mile limit
in the Andes or Himalayas. SO, too,
with the increased pressure; few can
long withstand the benumbing effects
of fifty feet below the surface III water,
although the knowledge of the case
with which the normal pressure may
be again reached lends courage and
assurance, very important factors in
such cases, to the daring experimenter,
while the extreme labor of ascending
mountains or the uncertainties OF
balloon action are deterrent in the
other direction
