A Remedy for Burns.

The celebrated German remedy for burns consists of fifteen ounces of the best white glue broken into small pieces into two pints of water and allowed to become soft; then dissolve it by means of a Water bath and add two ounces of glycerine and six drachms of carbolic acid; continue to heat until thoroughly dissolved. On cooling this hardens to an elastic mass, covered with a shining, parchmentlike skin, and may be kept for any length of time. When required for use it is placed for a few minutes in a water bath until sufficiently liquid and applied by means of a broad brush. It forms in about two minutes a shining, smooth, flexible and nearly transparent skin.

Pure food and good health are concomitants worthy of careful consideration; and in this connection the recommendations of such articles as Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder and Delicious Flavoring Extracts, must prove of great benefit.
