A Valuable Hint.
CURE FOR BURNS.
Public Opinion gives the following as a cure for burns, scalds, &c : — Saturate a soft piece of linen with alcohol, lay it over the burn, then cover it with cotton or finely-picked oakum. This is the most cleanly dressing that can be adopted. It may be thought that alchol applied to a burn will produce more pain ; but try it, and you will be agreeably surprised to observe how quickly it will allay the pain. Subsequently disturb the dressing* as little as possible, wet the dressing occasionally ■ with alcohol, and the result you will find better than any other method.
