Perhaps no local disease has puz-
zled and bafiied the medical profess
sion more than nasal catarrh. While
not Immediately fatal, it is among
the most nauseous and disgusting
ills the flesh is heir to, and the rec
ords show very few or no cases of
radical cure of chronic catarrh by
any of the many modes of treatment
until the introduction of Ely's Cream
Balm few years ago. The success
of this preparation has been most
gratifying and surprising. No drug
gist is without it.

Metallic saIts and Oxides.

Experiments made to ascertain the ac- ton of metallic salts and oxides, ss de- scribed before the Manchester Philo- sophical. society, exhibit some phenom- enal facts. Saturated solutions were made in water and painted on small pieces of the rubber, or. in the case of insoluble substances, pastes were made with water and painted on, the whole being allowed to dry, the heating being done at a temperature of 60 degrees c. for 10 days. The following compounds of copper entirely destroyed the rub Der: Sulphate, chloride, nitrate, fer rocyanide, oxide, sulphide; also arsenic, iodide. silver nitrate. strontium chlo- idle and bismuth chloride.
 The following had an injurious effect viz, ferrous nitrate, sodium nitrate, uranium nitrate, ammonium vanadate. Those that had very little action were lead chromate. ferrous sulphate, zinc acetate, zinc chloride, tin perchloride, while the behavior of about 60 salts hay ing no action whatever WAS also exam. ined. Exceedingly small quantities of copper salts are injurious to rubber, and 1t was found that wherever the cloth used in making waterproofed fabric con tained traces of copper the rubber be. came generally hardened and destroyed. As to the use of the various blacks, 1t sp- pears that manganese oxides should not be present. but haywood chrome blacks may be used with impunity.-NewY York
