BEE. SINGING FOR RHEUMATISM W {
suppose that every possible ''cure" foI
rheumatism had been suggested ere
this, but d German paper announces
the discovery of a new one. A woman
dear Prague suffered 50 severely from
govt in the arm that she could not OBJ
tain rest or sleep, and the limb in which
the disease had settled was rendered
entirely useless. Her husband, having
heard of a countryman who had been
completely cured of rheumatism after
being accidently stung by bee, per
suaded her to try this disagreesble rem.
edy, which, as he pointed out, could
hardly prove so painful as the disease.
She consented, and allowed three bees
to be placed on her arm, and to sting
her in several places. Surprising re-
suits ensued: the patient soon after
ward fell into long and deep sleep the
first real sleep she had enjoyed for six
months, after which the acute pain dis
appeared; ana .when the swelling pro-
nuced by the stings subsidized the arm
recovered the power of mOtion.-From
