NEW TREATMENT FOR BURNS.

Editor Of The Journal:
AS some of your, subscribers | sub
nit for your approval and publica-
ton an extract from an authentic
journal, The Retail Druggist
The article speaks for itself, I feel
confident that this will be of interest
to your subscribers and particularly
the trained nurses of our city infirm-
airy.
#. NJ. MASSIAS,
A story illustrative of nurses
discovery of a new method of treating
cases Of burning is now creating
great interest in London medical and
nursing circles. and presently that
interest will spread over the world.
Not long ago a little tot of two
years old was brought to the Victoria
Hospital for Children, at Chelsea. 1t
was burned so seriously that the doc
tors declared it could not live But
Miss Grey, the nurse in char|c. was
Of a different opinion, and obtained
permission to treat the case N her
own way.
She proceeded to dress the wound
with a solution Of one per cent of
aluminium acetate, afterwards cover
ing the infant with a blanket.
Then she placed over its head an
inverted cradle, also covered with q
blanket, and, in this improvised hot
air chamber. she maintained a tenn
pcrature of 1O3 degrees Fahrenheit,
by means of an electric lamp of high
candle power.
The story ends happily with the re-
covery of the baby, and the value of
Nurse Grey's treatment has been fur
Their demonstrated in like cases of
patients recovering from shock, and
now the method is being adopted
wherever possible. 1t is recognized
that in the case Of burning accidents,
the greatest danger is in the effect
of the shock. and that the deaths
from shock far out number those
caused by actual injury by fire. The
system of treating mad burning cases
as here described has the great adj
vantage Of being rapidly put into
practice, which other methods, such
as the boracic bath, which has ia
be maintained at a high tempeTa-
ture and the more prevalent method
of enveloping the burned body with
oil-soaked wrappings are more ted
( ious and prolonged.

Bridge Case Appealed.

The case of J. F. Mullins against the mayor and City Council of Little Rock, in which it Is sought to enjoin the defendants from creating the Broadway Bridge Improvement Dis trict, was appealed to the Supreme Court. The case originated in the Pulaski Chancery Court. where Null lins' petition was denied. He con tends that the building of the bridge is county and not local improve ment; also that the collection each year on the assessment of benefits to property in the proposed district would exceed one-half of one per cent of the value of property assessed by the county assessor for taxation pur- poses The constitution prohibits any county from leying tax of more than one-half of one per cent for all pur- poses. It is expected that when the Supreme Court meets September IT it will be asked to advance the case as a matter of public interest, that an early decision may be reached.
