tient was so weak and thin at the time we took charge of 
e case that it could no longer be used for commercial pur¬ 
ses. At the commencement, the canal opening was in- 
sased in size, and the following preparations were used in 
5 order named, but without producing a satisfactory ter- 
nation: Creolin solution, liquor villati, Burow’s solution, 
nee the oleum terebinthinae had proven so well in the first 
?e, we concluded to apply it here also. Suffice it to say 
it in a few weeks the tract and discharges had vanished._

THERAPEUTIC NOTICES. 
[ Several veterinarians have used naphthalin—colloquially 
• camphor—in the powdered form with good results in 
t)se cases where a bandage cannot be applied. Healthy and 
nid granulations are herewith induced. It is much better 
I in creolin for this purpose, and very materially cheaper 
m idoform. Karl, of Monheim, used the powder and flour 
aether in equal parts. He used this in wounds of the vagina, 
er first irrigating with a creolin solution ; he remarks the 
I ding to have been more rapid with the application of this 
2nt than without it. Karl also applied this mixture, kneaded 
o a dough, as a suppository in the obliteration of fistulous 
cts.— Woch.fur Thierhlk., No. 18. 
Camphor-phenol in otitis externa is urged by Amick as an 
odyne, and for its efficacy as an antiphlogistic application.

Petroleum as an anthelmintic, says Perrin, is useful when 
ministered either as a drench or as a clyster, in destroving 
>7uris vermic and tasnia. The drench consists of an emul- 
>n made of one part petroleum to one hundred and twenty- 
fe parts of water, with an equal quantity of ol. linum. 
The rectum is previously emptied, and the treatment
