New discoyeries-or what claim tC

OF plants are continually making
One of the latest is that celery is q
cure for rheumatism indeed, it is
asserted that the disease is impossible
if the vegetable be cooked and freely
eaten. The fact that 1t is almost
always put on the table raw prevents
its therapeutic powers from becoming
known. The celery should be out
into bits, boiled In water until soft,
and the water drank by the patient.
Put new milk, with a little -four and
nutmeg, into a saucepan with the
boiled celery, serve Il warm with
pieces Of toast, eat il with potatoes,
and the painful ailment will soon
yield. Such is the declaration of a
physician who has again and again
tried the experiment, and with uni
form success. He adds that cold OF
damp never produces, hut simply de-
yelols the disease, Of which acid
blood la the primary and sustaining
cause, and that while the blood is
alkaline there can be neither rheuma-
tism nor govt. English statistics
show that in one year 1850 1910 per-
sons died of rheumatism, and every
case, It Is claimed, might have been
cured or prevented by the adoption of
the remedy mentioned. At least two
thirds ofthe cases named heart dis

so much dreaded, is not half so de-
structiye as rheumatism, which, it is
maintained by many. pAgsiotaps, can
be prevented by nbeying natures laws

tingly to be a specific.
