HOW TO TREAT BURNS.

A Derlta Physician Introduces Z, New
Remedy I'm the Application of I'hioI.
From Current Literature.
According 10 a Berlin physician thiol is
highly approved as an application in the
treatment Of burma In all degrees
THE hrst step is to wash the surface with
a very weak solution of corrosive sublimate
then remove whatever cuticle hangs loose
taking care not to break any blisters that
are whole. The burn is busted with pow
dered bor;c acid, then the entire burned
surface and a considerable portion of the
healthy skin around it are painted with a
solution of equal parts of thiol and water,
then a layer of creased cotton is kept in
place with a bandagr.
This is undoubtedly a very scientific way
TO handle burn, but for the masses OF
people, many of whom 1--we some distance
from drug stores and doctors, there Is moth
ing better than the oli-time application Of
pure lard and -four 1t is well worth while
for every housekeeper to buy some pounds
of pure leaf lard, render It with the utmost
care and put 1t while piping hot into pots
or bottles that may be hermetically sealed.
A cupful Of lard. mixed with flour, to form
soft paste, may be applied to a burn
without loss Of time. The experience Of
years has demonstrated that IL this appli-
cation is followed up there will be neither
scar nor Irritation following the healing Of

vague ideas began to take form. The man

Charles! These stilt-walkers were tools in
the hands of the kings foes, who were
growing more powerful every day. He

that he could prevent should come to the
king.
