with a few small live
coals on a shovel, sprinkle some of the flannel strips on it, and hold
the injured member in the smoke for five or ten minutes, using plenty
of flannel to make a thick smoke. Repeat as often as seems necessary,
though one smoking is usually enough.

CHILBLAINS.--We glean two prescriptions from the _British Medical
Journal_. They are now being used in this country, and with good
results. Lin. Belladonnae two drachms, Lin. Aconita one drachm, Acid
Carbolici six minims, Collod. Flexil one ounce.

Mix and apply every night with a camel's hair pencil, Collod. Flexil
four drachms, Oleiricini four drachms, Spt. Tereb, four drachms. Use
three times daily with camel's hair brush.

SAID TO BE GOOD FOR GRIP.--Anything that affords hope of relief from
Grip is of interest. Pauline Crayson writes from Cranford, N.J., to
_New York Tribune_, saying: "I have found Peroxide of Hydrogen
(medicinal) a marvelous remedy in the treatment of grip and influenza.
This medicine should be diluted with water and administered internally,
and by snuffing through the nostrils or by spraying the nostrils and
throat. I believe the good results from this treatment, which I have
never known to fail of producing a speedy cure, are due to the
destruction of the microbe upon which this disease depends." The remedy
is simple and within the reach of everybody, and can easily be tested.

STICKS LIKE A BROTHER.--A paste that will adhere to anything.--Prof.
Alex. Winchell is credited with the invention of a cement that will
stick to anything (_Nat. Drug_). Take two ounces of clear Gum Arabic,
one and one-half ounces of fine Starch and one-half ounce of White
Sugar. Pulverize the Gum Arabic, and dissolve it in as much water as
the laundress would use for the quality of starch indicated. Dissolve
the starch and sugar in the gum solution. Then cook the mixture in a
vessel suspended in boiling water until the starch becomes clear. The
cement should be as thick as tar and keep so. It can be kept from
spoiling by dropping in a lump of Gum Camphor, or a little Oil of
Cloves or Sassafras. This cement is very strong indeed, and will stick
perfectly to glazed surfaces, and is good to repair broken rocks,
minerals or fossils. The addition of a small amount or Sulphate of
Aluminum will increase the effectiveness of the paste, besides helping
to prevent decomposition.
