The Treatment Of Warts.

When one has to deal with isolated
warts, they must be taken off with a
scoop. A rather abundant hemorrhage
follows, which may be arrested by COM
preston or by cauterization. When
warts exist In large numbers, this pro
cedure is no longer applicable, particu-
larly on account Of the numerous cica-
trices that follow its employment. In
these cases the better way Is to shrivel
the excrescences with nitric acid The
tincture Of thuja is also very eff1cacious
topical application.
In cases Of condyloma the small tu-
mors may be busted with powdered re-
sorcin or salicylio acid. They may also
be covered with plaster containing
these substances in the proportion of
from 10 to 30 per cent. When the face
is studded with large number Of these
little warts, which often appear sudden
y, DR.. Kaposi covers them with piece
Of flannel with layer Of black soap
This is left on the warts for "a hours
and adheres to the skin, gradually be-
coming detached with the warts.
Another very good application is the
following mixture: Flour of sulphur,
30 parts; glycerin, 80 parts; pure con-
centrated acetic acid, 10 parts The
warts are painted with this mixture for
several days without taking off the first
layer, and gradually the excrescences
dry up and become detached.
For keratosis Of the palms of the
hands and the soles of the feet plasters
of resorcin and salicylic acid are also
efficaoious. If the case is one of mollus
cumlike n@vus, it is better to employ
electrolysis. The needle connected with
the positive pole is plunged into the tr-
NOR, and current is passed Of from one
to two milliamperes for about 8O.sec-
onds. This operation is repeated at the
end Of s and 15 days. When the n@vus
is very large, the galvano cautery is
preferable. e.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

we held council of war. Some opposed
cutting the tree down because Of the
shade it gave ne. Others wanted to post
pone action, but as the enemy was lia-
BILE to chase us out any day, and was
as honey hungry as the coons, object

was so high up that the fall would have
ruined the honey. We had sailor chap,
though, who could climb like monkey,
and he rigged up ropes so that when the
limb was severed it was lowered gently
down and never Jared the honey.
"Well, we split the limb. You never
saw such find Of wild honey. There

When we had robbed it, we left the re-
mains for the coons, and, Lord, what
time they hadl They would cock their
heads, run their paws down, lick off the
honey, and an expression Of real heaven

It was funny to watch them chew the
comb till the honey was all gone. roll
the wax up into ball in their mouths
and then remove 1t and dip down for
more honey. And they seemed to recog-
nize the service we had done them in
cutting down the limb. They thought
we had done it for their special benefit,
and in coon language they showed their
gratitude as plainly as could be as long
as a speck Of honey lasted. After that
they returned to original sin and unin-
