No Authority Over Pullmans.

SAN FRANCISCO Feb 17.-Attorney
General Ford has filed an opinion with
the railroad commissioners, in which he
states that they have no authority over
the Pullman Palace Car company. Ford
contends that the company simply rents
and furnishes cars to railway companies
and the board has not the power to reg
ulate the charges of the baggage, ex-

The first pharmacopoeia issued by
government authority seems to have
been that of Nuremberg ia 1912. Ma
tional pharmacopoeias, regulating
the preparation of medicines, now
exist in the Argentine Republic, Aus.
tria, Belgium, Chill, Denmark
France, Germany, Great Britain,
Greece, Holland, Hungary. India,
Japan. Mexico, Norway, Portugal,
Russia, Spain, Sweden, and the
United States. In nearly ali of these
countries, the United States being a
notable exception, the works are is
sued by authority of the government
and have the force of law in their in
structions. The United States Phar-
macopoeia is prepared by commits
sion representing the medical and
pharmaceutical societies, and is re-
vised decennially, the time for a new
edition being now near at hand. Uni
versal pharmacopoeias have been at
tempted, thus far without official
recognition. The lack of uniformity
of nomenclature and standards is
serious difficulty, the greatest STUN
bling block being the tinctures and
extracts, which are SO variously pre-
pared in different countries that the
same name may indicate any one of
several different preparationsof roots,
bark or leaves. The latest commits
sion to consider an international
pharmacopoeia has just been APP
pointed by the Brussels Royal Acade-
my of Medicine. The need of an in
ternational work is now seriously
felt, and it is hoped to make it prac-
ticable by dealing only with potent
remedies and excluding medicines to
which the custom of each country has
given special form.

For two winters severe chilblains
have been treated by electric bath in
the practice of DR.. H. Lewis Jones,
of St. Bartholomew hospital, Lon
don. He is surprised that the advan-
tages of the simple application have
been SO generally overlooked. He
uses an induction coil, attaching the
wires to two metallic plates, which
are placed at the two ends of an
ordinary earthenware footbath filled
with warm water. This bath is used
at bedtime for ten or fifteen minutes
on the appearance of the threatening
symptoms. With current as strong
as can be readily borne, the electric
stimulation quickly sets up glow of
warmth in the feet, causes swelling
and congestion to disappear, and
gives effects, in relieving cold feet as
we'll as chilblains, far beyond those
of an ordinary footbath. A course of
eight or ten daily electric baths so
improves the circulation as not
only to Danish chilblains, but TO pre-
vent their return for considerable
time.

A simple method Of applying hot
air for the relief of acute pain has
been decribed by DR.. VIM. Taylor, an
English physician. The air is heated
electrically, and driven by a fan over
spiral of fine wire-also heated
direct to the painful part. The APP
plication is continued until the skin
becomes blanched aud clustering fol-
lows. Neuralgia has been effectively
treated by air at 200 degrees f. or
