rians. Thu antiseptic properties of salt suggest a number of use¬ 
ful applications. In surgery, even in very strong solution, it 
would be harmless and might possibly replace the more active 
antiseptic in many cases. As a cleansing application to foul 
ulcers and wounds, salt solutions have been used from the earliest 
times. In cases of indolent action, with large, pale and flabby 
granulations, the astringent effect of the salt would doubtless 
prove of service, as well as in many cases of excessive mucous 
secretions. Another application of salt certainly merits more 
extensive investigation, viz: the disinfection of night-soil and 
other sewage. In cities, a few handfuls of salt thrown daily into 
the water-closets, and an occasional handful thrown into the 
wash-basins, would go far, we believe, toward counteracting the 
noxious effects of the omnipresent sewer-gas, against which sanitary 
efforts have so long been directed. In the country a quart or 
more of salt used daily in the privy vaults would serve an equally 
useful purpose .—New York Medical Journal.
