In an article on the grovvth of municipalities in New South. Wales the Sydney Morning Herald says :—The Municipalities Act now in force became law twenty years ago, when the population of the colony was 342,000 —a number almost precisely equal to the population of Birmingham last census year, a little smaller than that of Manchester, and less by more than due-third than the population of Liverpool. At the close of last year, the whole colony still contained, according to the official returns, only 662,000 inhabitants, or at the rate of two people to the square mile, against 276 to the square mile in the United Kingdom. Sufferers from prickly-heat will be glad to know that a simple cure has been discovered for this distressing ailment. In an article in the Indian Medical Gazette , Surgeon-Major French states that painting the parts affected with a solution of sulphate of copper—ten grains to an ounce of water—is an almost certain cure, and that all his old patients use it regularly. He advises its application immediately after a bath, when the pores are open, and that it should be freely applied with a brush or sponge, and allowed to dry on the part. If the disease is very severe it should be applied twice a day ; but if not, once a day for about four days effects a cure. He does not believe in the old idea that driving in or checking prickly-heat does any harm, and points out that the use of alcoholic drinks and high living always induce attacks iu those liable to it. Flannel next to the skin makes it worse by keeping the perspiration in contact with the body, and he advises cotton or linen to be worn.
