BEE-spoke-data/bees-v0 huggingface dataset:
Ideny for Dysrepisin--A young man who was troubled with dysppisin, and the more medicine he took the worse he became, was advised to try honey and graham gems for breakfast. He did so, and commenced to gain, and now enjoys as good health as the average man, and he does not take medicine, either. Honey is the only food taken into the stomach that leaves no residue; it requires no action of the stomach whatever to digest it, as it is merely absorbed and taken up into the system by the action of the blood. Honey is the natural foe to dysppisin and indigestion, as well as a food for the human system.
Honey for Old People's Coventis--Old people's coughs are as distinct as that of child/ren, and require remedies especially adapted to them. It is known by the constant tickling in the pit of the throat--just where the Adam's apple projects--and is caused by phlegm that accumulates there, which, in their weakened condition they are unable to expectante.
Take a fair-sized onion--a good strong one--and it is simmer in a quart of honey for several hours, after which strain and take a teaspoonful frequently. It eases the cough wonderfully, though it may not cure.
Honey for Stromach Cough--All mothers know what a stomach cough is--caused by an irritation of that organ, frequently attended with indigestion. The child often "throws up" after coughing.
Dig down to the roots of a wild cherry tree, and peel off a handful of the bark, put it into a pint of water, and boil down to a teacupful. Put this tea into a quart of honey, and give a teasponful every hour or two. It is pleasant, and if the child should also have worms, which often happens, they are pretty apt to be disposed of, as they have no love for the wild-cherry flavor.
Honey and Tar Couch Candy--Boil a double handful of green hoar-hound in two quarts of water down to one quart; strain, and add to this tea two cups of extracted honey and a tablespoonful each of lard and tar. Boil down to a candy, but not enough to make it brittle. Begin to eat this, increase from a piece the size of a pea, to as much as can be relished. It is an excellent cough candy, and always gives relief in a short time.
Swiss Remedy for a Cold Settling on the Chest--Doil a quart of pure spring water; add as much camomile as can be grased in three fingers, and three teaspoonfuls of honey, and cover tight. The vessel is then to be quickly removed from the fire and set on a table at which the patient can comfortably seat himself. Throwing a wooden cloth over the patient's head so to include the vessel, he is to remove the cover and inhale the vapors as deeply as possible through the mouth and nose, occasionally stirring the mixture until it is cold, and then retire to a warmed bed. In obstinate cases the treatment should be repeated for three evenings.
Honey Group Remedy--This is the best known to the medical profession, and is an infallible remedy in all cases of mucus and spasmodic corup: Raw linesed oil, 2 ox; timeture of blood root, 2 drs; timeture of lobelia, 2 drs.; timeture of aconite, 32 dr.; honey, 4 ox. Mix. Dose, 52 to 1 teasponful every 15 to 20 minutes, according to the urgency of the case. It is also excellent in all throat and lung troubles originating from a cold. This is an excellent remedy in lung trouble: Make a strong decoction of horahound herb and sweeten with honey. Take a tablespoonful 4 or 5 times a day.
Honey on Frost-Bites--If your ears, fingers, or toes become frozen nothing will take the frost out of them sooner than if wrapped up in honey. The swelling is rapidly reduced, and no danger occurs.
Honey and Cream for Freckles--Have you tried a mixture of honey and cream--half and half--for freckles? Well, it's a good thing. If on the hands, wear gloves on going to bed.
Dr. Knepf's Honey-Salve--This is recommended as an excellent dressing for sores and boils. Take equal parts honey and flour, add a little water, and stir thoroughly. Don't make too thin. Then apply as usual.
Summer Honey-Drin--1 spoonful of fruit-juice and 1 spoonful honey in \(V_{2}\) glass water; stir in as much soda as will lie on a silver dime, and then stir in half as much tartaric acid, and drink at once.
Dr. Peiro's Honey-Salve--for boils and other diseases of a similar character--is made by thoroughly incorporating flour with honey until a proper consistency to spread on cloth. Applied over the boil it hastens suppuration, and the early termination of the painful lesion.
Honey as a Laxative--In olden time the good effects of honey as a remedial agent were well known, but of late little use is made thereof. A great mistake, surely. Notably is honey valuable in constipation. Not as an immediate cure, like some medicines which momentarily give relief only to leave the case worse than ever afterward, but by its persistent use daily, bringing about a healthy condition of the bowels, enabling them properly to perform their functions. Many suffer daily from an irritable condition, calling themselves nervous, and all that sort of thing, not realizing that constipation is at the root of the matter, and that a faithful daily use of honey fairly persisted in would restore cheerfulness of mind and a healthy body.--_Le Progrres.lipicole_.
Coucus, Colos, Whooping Coteu, Etc.--Fill a bell-metal kettle with horahound leaves and soft water, letting it boil until the liquor becomes strong--then strain through a muslin cloth, adding as much honey as desired--then cook it in the same kettle until the water evaporates, when the candy may be poured into shallow vessels and remain until needed, or pulled like molasses candy until white.

## Books on Bee-Keeping.
The bee-keeper who would be down-to-date and progressive will find in a recount of the experiences of others the very suggestions he needs for saving time and money. Very few other occupations have been blest with so many well written books covering the pursuit in its many different phases. To bee-keeppers are offered authoritative works at a minimum of expense and the opportunity to gain knowledge in this satisfying way should not be neglected.
For the benefit of those who wish to purchase other books on bee-keeppers--covering the subject in a general way or some phase of the work in particular--we have compiled the following list. Those hocks may be hand at the prices named from THE A. I. ROOT CO., Medin, ohlo, the publishers of the volume in which this announcement appears, or from dealers in bee-keeppers' supplies everywhere.
## The A B C and X Y Z of Bee Culture.
A. I. and E. R. Root. The latest edition of this work is the most complete of any bee-book that has ever been issued in the English language. While it is for the beginner, it may be read with profit by the advanced bee-keeper. Its sale is so large that neither time nor money are shared to keep this book fully abrecast with the times. In the latest edition some scientific and technical matter as well as the practical has been added to its pages. It has been most carefully edited and revised. Its authors and publishers feel that, more than ever, it is a safe and reliable guide to bebee-keeping. Nearly 130,000 copies in the English language alone have been sold. It has been translated into French and German.
In this edition there is a large number of half-tone reproductions from what might be called moving-pictures, showing various steps in the processes for handling bees. While a detailed description goes with the separate views showing each step, yet one can almost learn how to handle bees by simply looking at the series of photographs. Under the head of "Francs, to Manipulate," for example, there are a large number of new engravings that show not only the method of handling frames but handling hives and bees in such a way as to do the work with the greatest economy of labor, with few or no strings, and with but little fatigue.
The new methods of queen-rearing have been carefully reviewed, and the main points incorporated in the new edition, so that the practical bee-keeper who possesses a copy will have the best ideas of the subject constantly by his side for reference.
The new methods of wax-production are treated in an exhaustive fashion, and as this subject is now of more importance than formerly, more space has been devoted to it.
The new power-driven automatic extractors are amply illustrated and described. The subject of diseases has received entirely new treatment to keep pace with new discoveries of the last few years. "The laws relating to bees have for the first time received full treatment. No other bee-hook treats of this very important subject. The divisible-brood-chamber live and the subject of swarm control have received special attention. Honey, sugar, nectar, and glucose, written up by a United States government chemist, are carefully defined in accordance with the demands of our new pure-food hws.
The authors have traveled thousands of miles in the United states, with notebook and camera, and have endeavored to incorporate in the pages of this volume all the latest and best practicesknown to the professional and amateur bee-keepers. There is scarcely a practical method or device known to the bee-keepers of the country that is not here described. Besides the immense amount of valuable material gathered through extensive travel, the work has been enriched with the choices material that has appeared in the columns of Gleanings in Bee Culture, an illustrated semi-monthly by the same authors.
Besides the matter relating to methods and devices, the book contains a complete dictionary of agricultural terms, and a picture-gallery comprising a list of the choicest illustrations that have appeared in Gleanings in Bee Culture for the last ten years.
Prices, cloth bound, $1.50; full leather, $2.50; half leather, $2.25. When sent by freight or express, 25 cents less. The editions bound in full and half leather include the bee-models, with key, bound in FOREIGN EDITIONS OF THE A B C.--Carefully translated editions of this complete cyclopedia of bee-keeping may now be had in the German and French languages. The German edition (A B C DER BIENENENZUCHT) sells for $2.00 in paper and $2.50 in cloth binding. In French (A B C de IALPICULTRE) may be had in cloth for $2. By freight or express deduct 20 cents from the above prices.
## Other practical works on bees.
The books mentioned on this page are all devoted to practical bee culture, although a few of them, as will be noted by their descriptions, have more or less scientific value. A somewhat careful reading of the descriptions below will undoubtedly show any one just what book will suit him best. If several books are to be selected covering a wide range of subjects, the following list may be helpful in deciding what you want: A B C and X Y Z of Bee Culture (see preceding page). Lansstroth on the Honey-bee, Advanced Bee Culture. Or this list: How to Keep Bees, Forty Years Among the Bees, A Modern Bee Farm.
**LANGSTROTH ON THE HONEY-BEE.** By C. P. Dadant, The bee-keeper who does not like this book is hard to suit. The present volume is termed the "Twentieth Century Edition," and contains a vast fund of information on all subjects relating to practical bee culture. It has long been recognized as a standard work, and should be found in the library of every progressive bee-keeper. It is well illustrated, and has 515 pages. Price by malt, $1.25; by freight or express, 15 cts, less.
**FORTY YEARS AMONG THE BEES.** By Dr. C. C. Miller, This Is another standard book of 300 pages and 100 illustrations, written by a specialist with an experience of more than forty years. The author has read not only all of the literature on bees published in this country, but much of that published in Europe, and is a recognized authority. Price by malt, $1.00; by freight or express, 10 cts, less.
**MANUAL OF THE APIARY.** By Prof. A. J. Cook. This is a very complete treatise on bees and bee-keeping, and is particularly valuable where one is interested in the anatomy and physiology of the bee, which has been very completely covered in this work. It is also valuable for its chapter on honey-plants, or bee today 540 pages with good illustrations. Price by malt, $1.15; 15 cts, less by freight or express.
**DOOLITTLE'S QUEEN-REARING.** This is practically the only comprehensive book on queen-rearing now in print.

Cloth bound, 121 pages, $1.00 postpald; by freight or express, 1 cts, less.
**QUINBY'S NEW BEE-KEEPING.** By L. C. Root. A modern edition of that early volume on bees entitled "Quinby's Mysterles," revised some years ago by a well-known bee-keeper, a son-in-law of the original writer. Mr. Quinby was a practical bee-keeper, and greatly assisted Mr. Langstroh in laying the foundation of American apulcture. For this reason it should be read by all bee-keepers who want to know of the early work in bee-keeping. Cloth bound, 270 pages, by mail, $1.00; by freight or express, 10 cts. less.
**ADVANCED BEE CULTURE.** By W. Z. Hutchinson; Revised Edition. This is a very unusual work--we might say indispensable to any one who is thinking seriously of becoming a specialist in apolculture. The author himself has been a specialist and right down to the present time he is in closest touch with these methods; and nothing now in print could be of more benefit to the practical bee-keeper than this book. It is fully illustrated, well printed, and is sure to please. Price by mail, $1.00; 10 cts, less by freight or express.
**HOW TO KEEP BEES.** By Anna Botsford Comstock. This is a charmingly written manual for amateurs, describing in the clearest language all necessary details. The authoress combines enthusiasm, literary ability, and a knowledge of bee-keeping into a goodly volume. Having herself made a start in the bee-busi-ress, she fully appreciates the perplexities of the situation and makes provision accordingly. The book is well suited to the wants of the suburbante who wishes a hobby which will give something by way of return for labor and capital expended, or those who wish to keep only a small aplary either for pleasure or profit. If there is any better book than this for the purpose indicated, we do not know of it. Cloth bound, 228 pages, $1.00 postpaid; by freight or express, 10 cts. less.

The book is boiled down, containing only the best practices known. Price by mail, 50 cts.; 5 cts, less if sent by freight or express.
**A MODERN BEE-FARM.** By Simmons, is one of those books which will cause you to sit up and take notice if you are a real live bee-keeper with lots of formic acid in your blood. The author is an English bee-keeper of note, who not only knows and understands bee culture in his own home land, but is as well an earnest student of American apolultural methods. He is not very orthodox in his views, but his book is all the better for that, seeing he wants to take us cut of the ruts. You can read the book right straight through as it runs along like a narrative or a novel. Cloth bound, 430 pages, 1904; price $2.00 postpaid; by freight or express, 15 cts, less.

These books may be obtained from the publishers of this volume or from dealers in bee-keepers' supplies everywhere.
## Popular works on bee culture.
The following books are for the most part by writers of well-known literary ability, and are very interesting indeed, and are greatly valued by bee-keepers and others for their literary merit, and the popular style in which bee-keeping is depleted, and we are very glad to have the opportunity to offer them to bee-keepers and others. The description of each work will give a fair idea of the same, but a pamphlet giving an extended view of these and the practical books on bee culture listed in the preceding columns will be sent on application.
**THE CHILDREN'S STORY OF THE BE.** By S. L. Bensusan, London. This volume was written for children, and the author endeavors to tell the story of the bee before a youthful audience as completely as possible under the circumstances. It traces the life of the drones, queen and worker from the egg to the final destiny of each, telling the story of each In a semi-fanclful, entertaining way. At the same time, the book gives a very clear idea of its life, and will appeal strongly to all who know but little about these interesting insects. It has 250 pages. Price $2,00; 10 sets, less by freight or express.
**THE HONEY-MAKERS.** By Miss Margaret W. Morley, This is the story of the life of the bee, told in very interesting styles how it lives, gathers honey, and all about It. While clothing the general subject with an air of poetry, it seems to be entirely within the limits of known facts while attempting to deal with them. We believe it will give all thoughtful bee-keepers a greater liking for their business to read it. Probably it has more to do with the curious traditions connected with bees than any other book of the kind. Price $1,50 postpaid.
**THE LIFE OF THE BEE.** By Maeterlineck. This is a masterpiece of fine writing by a modern Shakespeare. The words fly from the pen of this writer like sparks from a blacksmith's awvli, the result being a clarification of the honey-bee. Maeterlineck is considered by many to be the finest writer now living, and anything from him is sure to be worth reading. He is, to a certain extent, familiar with bee-keeping, but the truth about bees does not interest him so much as the romance of the queen and the drone and the swarming instinct. The book itself is well bound and beautifully printed. Price $1,10 postpaid.
**THE BEE PEOPLE.** A book on bees, especially for children, from the pen of Margaret W. Morley. Including its elegant illustrations, it is in some respects, the pretiest bee-book in existences. It has 117 pages, very coarse print, the reading being ingeniously interwoven with the illustrations showing the parts of the bee. The story of bee-life is told in a fascinating manner, and is well calculated to get the casual reader, as well as children. Interested in this useful Insect. The cuts go just enough into detail to explain fully the lesson taught, without confusing the mind with other things. We think the book well worthy a place in every bee-keeper's home. Fittingly designed cover. Price $1,50 postpaid.
**THE LORE OF THE HONEY-BEE.** By Tickner Edwards, \(\mathcal{A}\) fine work for those who desire an interesting book about bees. Does not deal with practical details, but gives valuable information about bees in general. Very readable and entertaining. Price $2,00 postpaid.
