The cast, whether of trunk or limb, is now thoroughlydried, possibly in a ventilated oven or over a furnace, and shouldnot be further used until dried through and through, whichmay be known by its dry feel when cool and by its loss ofweight. It is well to remember that too intense heat will dis-integrate the plaster, rendering it friable. [to be concluded]. EDITORIAL. TO OUR READERS. The unwritten law of custom demands of a new medical journala reason for its existence, the profession, a platform of its principles,and its friends a horoscope of its future.
