The superficial felon is the. less painful. This is located, as a rule, around and un- der the finger nail. It may appear on one ,or mere fingers at the same tbne or in Er1C08861013, particularly if the bodily sys- tem is debilitated. The inflammatian may be alight and subside quickly, but fre- quently it is more or _less severe and re- sults in the formation of a small abscess.

If an abscess has formed, however, hot applications should be applied and the pus completely removed. The application of the tincttire of iodine, carbolic acid or a blister affords little or no relief. • In the deep variety of felon the forma- tion of an abscess is almost certain, and therefore hot applications or poultices should be employed from the beginning.

Be was a profound idiot, and could not eeply intelligibly to a single question be- yond this nor be trusted even to feed him- self. Morel cites the instance of an idiot who was unable to count 20, yet could name all the saints of the calendar and the days of their respective fetes. In some of the books on these defectives is mentioned an idiot with a wonderful • memory for English history. • When sup- plied with the slightest eue, he recounted in measured tones whole passages of it. Falret noted an imbeoile who could give immediately the days of birth •and death and the principal events in the life of any celebrated personage mentioned to him. - Such instances of elaboration of speoial memories where all other faculties are in -abeyance might be multiplied. The oases above mentioned were, no doubt all of them, examples of extraordinary develop- ment of the auditory tracts and centers. - Frederick Peterson, M. D., in Popular Science Monthly.
