VIRTUES OF CELERY.
Its Value as a.Medicinal Agent in Cases o.
Rheumatism or GOut.


Rheumatism or Gout.
New discoveries--or what claim to
De discoveries the healing virtues
of plants are continually being made.
One of the latest is that celery is
q cure fat. rheumatism; indeed. it is
asserted that the disease is impossible
if the vegetable be cooked and freely
eaten. The fact that it is always put
on the table raw prevents its thera-
peutic powers from being known. The
celery should be cut into bits. boiled
in water until soft and the water drunk
by the patient. Put new milk, with a
little -four and nutmeg, into saucepan
with the boiled celery, serve it warm
with pieces of toast, eat it with potatoes,
and the painful ailment will soon yield.
Such is the declaration of a physici an
who has again and again tried the ex-
pertinent, and with uniform success.
He adds that cold or damp never pro-
duces, but simply develops the dis
ease. of which acid blood is the pri-
mary and sustaining cause, and that
while the blood is alkaline there can
be neither rheumatism nor govt.
Statistics show that in one year 1876
2,640 persons died of rheumatism in
this county, and every case, it is
claimed, might have been cured or
prevented by the adoption of the
remedy mentioned. At least two
thirds OF the cases named heart dis
ease are ascribed to rheumatism and
its agonizing ally, govt. Smallpox.
so much dreaded, is not half so de-
ssructive as rheumatism, which, it is
maintained by many physicians, can
be prevented by obeying natures laws
in diet. But. if you have incurred it,
boiled celery is pronounced unhesi-
tatingly to be specific. The proper
way to eat celery is to have it cooked
as vegetable after the manner above
described. The writer makes con-
slant use of it in this way. Try il
once, and you would sooner do with.
out any vegetables. with the single ex.
ception of the potato. rather than
celery. Cooked celery is a delicious
dish for tho table. and she most con.

servation.
at is very clear to my mind" came
the ready answer. at seems to me
that if any business on earth requires
the thorough knowledge and practice
of good business principles, that bust
ness is farming. Agriculture is not
what it used to be. When farmers went
to the blacksmith shop to have their
plows made; when they raised nearly
all they ate, and ate nearly all
they raised; when they made their
own clothes from wool that was grown
on their sleeps back; when they man.
ufactured their own farm machinery,
and their greatest social event was to
go to the circus once year, there
was then not so much need of bust
ness education except as stepping
stone to getting into some other en-
ployment But now things have rad
ically changed. Every successful
farmer is. to certain extent, a mer-
chant. He has much buying to do in
order to equip his farm with the tools
and machinery necessary for success
full farming. Then he must sell his
products and he must know how to
sell to the best advantage. He must
know what kind of farming is the
most profitable, and to know this he
must have an exact system of ac
counts. He must know how to protect
himself against the tricks and traps o.
sharpers by a familiarity with al
kinds of business forms and CONNER
cial papers, and fair understanding o
the laws of business will come very
handy. He ought to be ready pen
man and good correspondent, quicl
and accurate in business calculations
and even a knowledge of shorthand
won't do him any harm.
