addition to the use of the Pellets and baths, a full dose of Dr.

CAUSTICS.


_Caustics_ are substances which have the power of destroying or

destroyed by dilution with other substances, to such an extent that they
will only irritate or stimulate, and not destroy. Much care is necessary
in their employment, and it is not expected that the unprofessional
reader will have much to do with them; hence, we have deemed it best not
