A few days ago the doctors of
Brentwood entertained the Terrell
County Medical Association with an
elegant barbecue at divers mill.
The carcasses, nicely Drowned and
seasoned, were in fine condition, and
everyone of the M. DIS. gave evil
dence that they were experts in sur
gerry when the hour arrived for the
carving to begin. The Bronwood
doctors proved themselves to be ex-
cellent hosts, and the occasion was
most enjoyable one.

THE COLD KEY.
a Popular and On Ancient Remedy For
Nosobleed.

u Popular and On Ancient Remedy For
Nossblsed.
In case Of hemOrrhage, especially In
that Of bleeding from the nose, our
forefathers applied to the forehead and
to the nose ointments and even the
patients own blood. They practiced
legation Of the limbs, q means devised
by Apollonius in the reign Of Nero,
ligating the great toe of the side CORE
spending to the bleeding nostril, and
they resorted to derivation by blood
letting. They plugged the ears with
tow, a procedure recommended by GA
len. But, above all, they sought TO
produce fainting. Locally the hacmas-'
tatic most employed was spiders web,
with which they filled the nasal fossa
OF NIL these empirical procedures the
most widespread and the one still
most employed in popular medicine is
the application Of cold. The most avail
able source Of cold, because it is every
where prOcurable, is water. Consc-
Quently 1t has oftenest been employed.
In epistaxis the ancient physicians adj
vised bathing the face with very cold
water and causing 1t to lie held in the
mouth. They also soaked the hands
and feet In cold water.
On the theory that cold things re-
strain hemorrhage many persons re-
placed water by solid cold objects and
hung about the neck of the patients
attacked with epistaxis coral, jasper,
yellow amber. marble or articles of
Iron. Physicians pointed out, indeed.
certain regions with which It was pref
cradle to make the contact. They real
lied that it was the GOODNESS Of the
object, not its nature, that did the
work. No special property must be at
trtbuted to the iron, said Guyon- Dolois,
for chains Of gold, silver or lead would
serve the same purpose. In popular
medicine, however, iron has remained
the material most employed In nasal
hemorrhages, and the application of
the key to the back Is largely resorted
to In the household. DIR. Helot pos
sesses an enormous key which he uses
only as paperweight. One day pa
ssSuss pOtutluS " ILLS muSSlSe Key, cN.
claimed, 1T is to stop hemorrhages. !"
It was key Of the eighteenth century.
We may laugh. says NJ. Helot. at
the charm attributed to the key in,
epistaxis. but we must admit that cold
has certain action In cases of hcmor-
rhage. 1t contracts the capillary YES
sells. When 1t is applied ut Il distance
from the site Of hemorrllage It's cfii-
cheney may he matter for discussion,
but its effect is certain when IL is
applied to the actual seat OF the bleed
ing. AMI rhinologists know the value
Of causing the patient to swallow ice.
Possibly the cold key has no other
hemastatic power than what is con
nected with the sensation Of cold
which 1t produces. \ cold compress;
