Care is taken to apply the iodin also to the surface immediately surrounding the wound. The entire wound is then covered with a dusting powder composed of zinc oxide, boric acid, exsiccated alum, phenol and camphor.

It's not only what you do but the way you do it. You've got to have a good outfit. I'll help you buy it." "Do you really think I'm good enough for Mountain City?" exclaimed Judith.

I do not forget that Medicine and Veterinary practice are foreign to me. I desire judgment and criticism upon all my contributions.
If the udder becomes badly swollen, it should be supported with a bandage. Extensive inflammation may be treated by the application of cold in the form of packs of cracked ice. Irrigating the gland with a four per cent water solution of boric acid is an important treatment for certain forms of mammitis.

The steam issuing from these hot springs contains small quantities of boric acid, that acid being one of those solid substances distilling to some extent in a current of steam.

A dressing popular with many nurses is prepared as follows: In a piece of muslin four inches square cut a small circular opening; double the linen and dust boric acid between the folds. If this method is preferred, several of the dressings should be prepared and sterilized together. THE BABY'S OUTFIT. Preparations for the infant may be thorough without being elaborate.
