Mr. Cockburn recommends a plan, which we have found very successful. The part burnt is to be bathed with vinegar, till the pain is no longer felt; and this application is not contraindicated by even a loss of substance. Afterwards, a common poultice, covered with -finely powdered chalk, is to be applied, and repeated at first every four hours, and after a day or two every six or eight hours. In a few days the cure is completed. The effect of this plan is the coagulation of the fluid in the blisters, and their immediate healing.

Mr. Kentish, of Newcastle, recommends the use of the aqua ammonite, oil of turpentine, or alcohol, as the first applications; and afterwards a dressing of the unguentum resin flavae, softened with oil of turpentine, with a cordial diet and the use of opiates, from which he has been very successful in his practice in some extremely desperate cases; and in cases of cos-tiveness he has recourse to calomel to keep the body moderately open.

He has given to the public several cases, with the modes of treatment he made use of; and as they must vary according to particular circumstances occurring, and differences of the constitutions in individuals to whom such accidents have. happened, we refer the reader to the perusal of his work, as the nature of our publication will not permit us to descend too minutely unto such particulars as may be necessary to be known by the practitioner.
