flccoro says that dr j troizki in a russian medical journal adds his testimony to that already publish ed as to the value of solution 6f bicarbonate of soda as a dressing for burns he says that during the previous year he noticed twentyfive cases of burns mostly of a se vere nature sixteen of them were received in a fire in a village during a strong wind when the inhabitant in order to save their eroperty were obliged to work in the names ii all these twentyfive cases bicarbonate of soda was exclusively applied the result of this treatment was so lavoraure that thran- thor considers himself justified in pronoun cing this remedy the best and most efficient in burna of all kinds and degrees even in extensive burns of the second and third de grees the pain was aeon alleviated by the application of compresses soaked in a solu tion of bicarbonate of soda and the wounds soon healed leaving but few scars and no impairment of the ninctions of the affected parts no eril results from this extensive use of bicarbonate of soda which ntightsug- gest the reception of carbonic acid into the blood were noticed as regards the application of bicarbonate of soda in bums the author distinguishes three methods 1 powdered bicarbonate of soda is strewn over the burned parts 2 linen rags sprinkled with a solution of hi carbonate of soda 1 in 50 are laid ou af soon as these rags become dry they are re placed by others or are moistened again in the solution 3 linen rags arc applied in the same manner but are kept constantly uina the bums and moistened by pouring the solution over them the first method suffices only fotj bums of the first degree change of the moistened rags is chiefly adapted for bums of the third degree at tended with much suppuration in exchang ing the dry rags the pus which has aocuma- lated underneath them must be carefully washed off that it may not be received into the blood and then a fresh rag soaked with the solution must be placed upon the clean granulating surface the third method is applied aolelyin bums of the second degree changing the compresses would in this case only imlate the exposed surface and by causing a more copious suppuration delay the healing process the mneficent effect upon burns of the solution of bicarbonate of eoda the author considers to be due to the anesthetic antiseptic and di pro perty which the bicarbonate owes to the readydiaengagement of carbonic acid from it herr troixki has also made experiments with other antiseptic and disinfectant agents but has come to the conclusion that none are so

a diet adapted for a somewhat more northerly latituile than that which they occupy and the cost of their food is therefore far greater than it need be and that much of their peculiar forms of indigestion and resulting chronic disease is another necessary consequence oi the same error they consume too much animal food particularly the flesh of cattle for all who are occupied withaevere and con tinuous mechanical labor a mixed diet of which cereals and legumes form a large portion and meat fish eggs and imlkfqsn a moderate proportion is more nutritious snd wholesome than chiefly animal
