In some cases of bruising, the skin may be split by the force of the blow which caused the injury. This brings us to the consideration of cuts and lacerations. These may range from superficial or deep cuts made with sharp instruments, to jagged or lacerated wounds made with barbed wire, rusty nails, etc. Before dealing with any cut or abrasion wash your hands.
FOOD AND HEALTH. The millers are very clever. They sell fine white flour at a high price, causing constipation, and bran at a still higher price, to cure it.

THE ANIMALS PAGE. As soon as a patient tells a good homoeopath that washing and bathing disagrees Sulphur leaps to the mind. I sent the lady a small box of sugar pilules moistened with a millionth of a grain of Sulphur in solution, and in a week pussy looked much brighter and happier and had resumed regular and frequent washings. Not infrequently cats are killed by their owners because they have stopped washing themselves.
