MAKES BURNS PAINLESS.

The suffering caused by burn upon
the skin, whether small or great, is in
tense, as every one knows, and medi
cal science has only been able, thus far,
to palliate but not to remove the p j /
entirely. Chance led to the discovery
in the Paris Charity Hospital the other
day of remedy which, it is claimed,
will cause burns to cease from being
painful as soon as it is applied, and
which will cause the injured flesh to
heal with marvellous rapidity.
One of the surgeons was in the habit
of using picric acid as all antiseptic and
his hands were therefore impregnated
with the solution.N One day, in light
ing cigarette, portion of the burn
ing match fell upon his hand, but in
stead of feeling it he noticed not the
slightest pain. A short time after
wards, while sealing letter, some
burning wax stuck to his finger, and
though it cauteriZed the skin, he felt
no sensation. This set him to thinking,
and he arrived at the conclusion that
the acid had, to use his own words,
| aCLco upOa buO l'oouSo au0 e'ShVOhCo
them"
He began series of experiments in
treating burns with saturated solution
of picric acid. "All pain was instantly
suppressed" he says in his report,
''afler having bathed the wound in a
solution of this acid. Blisters did not
form, and cure was effected sfter four
or five days. The only convenience
was that the acid, which is commercial
ly used in the manufacture of dyes, col
ored the skin yellow, but these stains
rapidly disappear when washed with
boric acid. Picric acid, moreover, is
odorless, and is neither caustic, irrita
ting nor toxic in its effects"
The cheapness of picric scid and the
ease with which a proper solution of it
may be prepared and kept ready have
induced many of the large mapufacto-
ries about Paris, whose workmen are
| frequently burned at their labors, to
place jars about within easy reach, SO
that those injured may be treated with
as little delay as possible.

A False Diagnosis.

La Grippe is confounded by many persons
with severe attack of catarrh, which in some
respects resembles the former. These indi-
yiduals suffer severely with pain about the
forehead. eyes and ears with soreness in
throat and stoppage of the nasal passages, and
in fact, are incapacitated for work OF any
kind for days at time. These are catarrhal
sufferers. Ely's Cream Balm has been used
with the best results in such cases. The
remedy will give instant relief.

BRITISH WILL KICK
Officials Expect a Protest on
Account of Venezuelan
Concessions
RECENTLY GRANTED AMERICANS
A Former Protest Of Like Ma
ture Was Honred-Grant'S
Contract.

WASHINGTON, July lit is expect
ed by officials that Great Britain will
protest against the concession Venez-
uelal has made to all American COM
pany, and will warn the Ameicans
against taking possession OF the terri.
tory, part of which is claimed by Great
Britain. Under similar circumstances,
the British foreign Office protested
against the same concession when 1T
was first granted to Americans III 1884.
and the warnings at that time
were so determined that the latter did
not push their concession, which has
remained dormant until now Venezuela
wants it, and the Americans start to
assume possession Of the territory.
The warming given by Great Brit in
when the last concession was given to
Americans covering the same lands
was as follows:
Colonial Office, London, October IL,
1886. Whereas, the boundary line be-
tween her majesty's colony of British
Guiana and the republic of Venezuela
is in dispute; and whereas, it. has come
to the knowledge of her majestys gov
ernment that grants of land within the
territory claimed by her majesty's gov
ernment have been made, Or purported
10 have been made by or i'll the
name of the government of Venezuela,
notice is hereby given that nc
title to land or to any right, or in or
over or affecting such land, within the
territory claimed by her majesty's gov
ernment, purporting to be derived from
or through the government Of Venez'
uela, or any officer or person author
lied by that government will bs ad.
mitted Or recognized by her majesty's
government, and any person taking
possession Of, or exercising any righ,
over any such lands under color Of any
such title or pretended title, will be
liable to be treated as trespasser."
This warning was the elimination oi
OF controversy following the grant.
| There was much contention, but the
American company at last abandoned
its plans and the concession has re-
manned in allegiance ever since. Now
that it is revived, the purpose of Great
Britain to protest is believed to be
clearly outlined by the action taken II
years ago. 1t is thought that the pro
tests of that day remain operative to
day, as they cover the same lands, but
it is not doubted that the British au
thorities will renew the warnings in
order to give them more formal appli
cation to the present case.
