went on as favourably as it did in the leg. Every wound 
healed admirably, closed by granulation, and was covered with 
anew skin. The boy entirely recovered in seven weeks. 
W. C. had his fingers caught in the wheel of a mill; the 
anterior joint of the index-finger, and two joints of the ring- 
finger were entirely torn off, and the fleshy part of the tip of the 
middle finger was likewise carried away ; a small portion of the 
bare bone of the second joint of the ring-finger had remained, 
and the patient was very anxious to have it amputated. It was 
left, however, with the hope that the granulation might be 
favourable, and cover this little remnant of the joint with fleshy 
particles. The Calendula was applied on the second day after 
the occurrence of the accident. The result of the application 
was very satisfactory. The wounds did not suppurate, and the 
granulation went on undisturbed to the termination of the cure. 
The little spiculum of bone on the ring-finger had exfoliated 
slightly at the tip, but that portion of the bone which was adher- 
ing to the joint had become covered with flesh. 
Dr. Schulz has used the Calendula with the most satisfactory 
results, in compound fractures of the limbs, etc. It will suffice 
to remark, that in all cases where the fleshy parts have been 
carried away, and the edges of the wound cannot be brought 
together by plaster, the Aquz Calendule is the best applica- 
tion asa wash. The suppurative process, which is so exhausting 
in large wounds, is either entirely prevented or very much 
shortened and diminished by the Calendula wash. Calendula 
may also be useful in induration of stomach and uterus.
