2. It has a very energetic destructive action upon vegetable
cells—microbes.
3. It has no toxic properties; five cubic centimetres injected beneath
the skin of a guinea-pig do not produce any serious result, and it is
also harmless when given by the mouth.
As an immediate conclusion resulting from my experiments, my opinion
is, that peroxide of hydrogen should be used in the treatment of
diseases caused by germs, if the microbian element is directly
accessible; and it is particularly useful in the treatment of
infectious diseases of the throat and mouth.

SIR JOHN TOMES is spending his declining years very comfortably and
pleasantly at his delightful country home, Upward Gorse, Catram Valley,
and devotes a great deal of his time to the literature of the day, and
is remarkably strong and well preserved for a man of his age.
THE TOOTH TRANSPLANTED from a bell-boy's mouth to a lady's, the full
description of which is given in the _Missouri Dental Journal_ of
1882, on page 245, was extracted a few days ago, having done faithful
service in its transplanted socket for _ten years_, lacking one month.
The roots were considerably absorbed; also the external plate of the
socket, which made it unfavorable to implant another tooth, so a
"dummy," attached to a gold crown on an adjoining root, was substituted
in its place.
