September. THE WEST SHORE. 15 Remedy for Bibns. Dr. G. F. Waters, of Boston, recently tested be fore the meeting of the Massachusetts Dental Society a new remedy for burns anil scalds, consisting of the application of bicarbonate of soda, the simple cook ing soda used in all families. The doc tor dipped a sponge into boiling hot water, and squeezed it over his right wrist, the water flowing almost com pletely around the arm, and nearly en circling it with a severe scald" two inches in width. Not content with this he dipped the sponge a second time, and pressed it closely on the un der side of his wrist for thirty seconds, lie then applied bicarbonate ol soila to the scalded surface, and laid over it a wet cloth, and the intense pain was banished as if by magic. On the next day after this severe test, the scald, with the exception of the part purposely made most severe, was practically healed, only a slight discoloration of the skin showing where the scalding water had flowed this, too, without a second application of the soda. The flesh on the under side of the wrist had been cooked dow n to the sweat-glands, anu me scaui was one which ordinarily would have caused an open and pain ful wound of long duration. The only treatment of this, however, after the lirst application of the soda, was to keep the part moist with a wet cloth, and no pain was experienced, and it was but a few davs before this severe wound was seen to be rapidlv healing. Th discovery of this new remedy is a pub lic blessing. Every family, almost, keeps soda on hand. In case of a burn or scald, the remedy may be applied therefore, at once, and before the arri val of a physician, even If it is thought iicwiMn 10 genu nw one. Oregon Steamship Company.
