American Hee Journal ing the well-cleansed surface with an effective soothing and protective coat- ing, and in France its great usefulness for general surgery and for battlefields has been shown by the experiments of Parvel and Mayer. " Used either alone or with a little vaseline, propolisine has given perfect isolation from bacterial infection, with the best conditions for speedy and un- interrupted ; I cannot vouch for the truth of this statement, but can say that I have seen no mention of anything of the kind in medical magazines within a year. As a covering for wounds it might, as is claimed, give " isolation from bacterial infection," but unfortunately for the writer, American doctors do not "var- nish" wounds, depending upon medi- cated gauze instead. To my mind this belongs to the same class of literature as do the tales of wonderful cures of rheumatism by bee-stings, and carry- ing a horse chestnut in the left pants pocket. Buck Grove, Iowa. [We don't believe the carrying of a horse chestnut in one's pocket should be mentioned in the same breath and on a parity with the cure of rheuma- tism by bee-stings. No remedy on earth can cure everybody, for there are different degrees in diseases. If a dis- ease could ahvays be cured by treat- ment, everybody should be enabled to die of old age. Yet very few people will condemn doctors and their pre- scriptions as does Elbert Hubbard. Propolis is given credit for quite a few new uses, and we propose to translate an article on the subject which has lately appeared in a European bee- journal. Meanwhile we are willing to have such good-natured critics as Dr. Bonney call our attention to new sug- gestions even if they do so only to oppose them.—Editor.] Honey and Its Falsifications BY ALIN CAILLAS, Aericultural Ene'meer, Paris.
