afternoon. The emperor informed Dr.
jWelsgirchner that this step must nut
be thotight of. and at (list the burgo-
master threatened'to resign. After a
talk... with the, epipei or over the Jelc-
phone, however, the head of 11 ic inti

Dangers of Poisoning to Which

is lhat commonly known as "T. N. T. T

surgeons testify.
'i’he favorite snhstnnee of the sm-
geons for cleansing wounds before tiie

lution of castile soap. The usual tnolli-
<xi of dressing a wound at that lime
w-As to wash it thoroughly with the

Kver.v one should hen r ill mind, there?

good emergency dressing nnd should
lie .used as a covering for freshly, in-
jured surfaces if nothing better is
available. A strip torn from a hand-
kerchief, with the moistened soap*Tub-

suds il is probable that no other dress-
