except under the most adverse circum-

and when the little band of Armenian
Christians had been reduced to a

Treatment of Burns.
Central Christian Advocate.

Central Christian Advocate.
Dinah Sturgis writes is Harper's
Bazaar on "Minor Ills of the Fam
ily." In regard to the treatment of
burns she says: The usual house,
hold c~atastrophes in burns come
within the two first grades of the
surgeons list-frst,t those that redden
the surface merely and smart pain
fully, and S, cond, those that blister
the surface burned in one large or
several little b~listers.
The sudden great rise in tempera-
ture of the portion of the skin that
is exposed to steam or flame or a
highly heated surface Injuries the ex-
posed ends of the sensory nerves,
hence the exquisite pain. The main
thing to do is to at once protect the
surface from the air, the skin being
now representative to every breath.
A homely but not-to-be-laughed-at
remedy in d slight burn is to dredge
the part with flour. Do not heap
and pack the flour on, but sift it on
lightly till the surface is we'll covered.
Flour is always at hand, so should
be remembered as at any rate an i'm
mediate relief. Better still, spread
a piece Of linen Every soft and old
with vaseline enough to completely
cover the service burned, and lay
over it another covering of gutta-
percha. One of the best applica-
tions for a bnrn is Carron-oil, SO
called from having been first used
to dress burns at the Carron fur
naces. 1t is made of equal parts of
linseed oil and lime water. SO ben
eficial a remedy should be kept in
the house, and it can be made at
home very cheaply if the oil and a
piece of quicklime can be had. Stake
the lime by dropping it into water.
A white powder will be precipitated
drain off the water, and put the
powder into some cooled boiled water
and shake; when the water has taken
in solution all the lime that it will
hold, pour off the liquid into a clean
bottle, and the lime water is ready
for use. TO dress a burn with Car
ron-oil, wet q piece Of linen in it,
aud lay on the wound, cover with
gutta-percha tissue; as soon as the
linen dries, wet again, and continue
to keep the burn wet till the "fire''
9 cut Of the wound. Protect the
skin of a burn till it loses all. sen
sitiveness, as if once abraded it heals
very slowly. If the burn blisters
and the blister is small, let it alone,
as the skin will absorb tue fluid in
the blister in time. If there is a
large blister OF several small ones,
open them very carefully on the
lowest dependent point, never on
top. Make a very small opening
with a needle that has been steril-
lied before it is put into each blister,
and is wise TO introduce the point of
the needle under q bit of uniniured
skin next the blister, and then gently
to express the fluid. Then cover
with a moist dressing made of the
C%arron-oil. Exquisite care is neces-
sary to prevent carrying even micro
scopic dirt into an open wound,
since this external interference of
! germs is more apt than the original
injury itself to make mischief.
