Messrs J. T. Stembridge and Co., auctioneers, have been instructed by the Official Assignee to sell a quan tity of timber, etc., on Friday 28th inst, at his auction mart. What is described as the greatest surgical discovery since Lister's anti-septic (says a Paris correspondent) is now at the service of the French wounded. It is an antitoxin, discovered by the well-known bacteriologist?, Professors La Chainrh*> and Vallee, the use of which discovery is likely to supplant trie antiseptics in preventing infection ot the wounds. The antiseptics, though killing the disease, : j weaken and benumb the 'issues, thus delaying the cicatrisation of the wound, whereas the new serum, called polyvalent, because effective against all malignant germs, actually stimulates the tissues surrounding the wound and promote! rapid healing. The discoverers, who are in charge of the Alfort National Veterinary School, have twenty-five horses under treatment, from which they get forty thousand five-cubic centimetre doses monthly. Extensfve experiments show a decrease in the pain and fever a few hours after the injection, accompanied by a rapid cessation of inflammation. Where the injection is made before the infection develops the wounds invariably heal without complication.
