CELERY TO CURE RHEUMATISM
New discoveries-or what claim to be
discoveries-of the healing virtue Of
plants are continually being made.
One Of the latest is that celery is a
cure for rheumatism; indeed, it is as
serted 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 cnt into bits. boiled
in water until soft. and the water
drank by the patient. Put new milk,
with little -four and nutmeg, into q
saucepan with the boiled celery, serve
it warm with pieces of to lst, eat it
with potatoes and the painful element
will soon yield. Such is the declara-
tion Of a physician who has again and
again tried the experiment and with
uniform success. He adds that cold
and damp never produces but simply
develops the disease, of which acid
blood is the primary and sustaining
cause, and that while the blood is al.
kaline there can be neither rheuma-
tism nor gout.
Statistics show that in one year
lS76-2.050 pereons died OF rherma-
tism in this country, who, it is claimed,
might have been cured or prevented
by the adoption of the re.ledy men
toned. At least two.thirds of the
cases named heart disease are ascribed
to rheumatism and its agonizing ally,
gout. Smallpox, so much dreaded,
is not so destructive as rheumatism,
which. it is maintained by many phys.
icians. can be prevented ty obeying
natures laws in diet. But, if you
have incurred it, boiled celery is pro.
nounced unhesitatingly 10 be specific.
The proper way to eat celery is 10
have it cooked as vegetable after the
manner above described. The writer
makes constant use of it in this way.
Try it once, and you would sooner do
without any vegetable, with the sin
gle exception of the potato. rather
than celery. Cooked celery is deli
cious dish for the table, and the most
conducive to the health of any vege-
table that can be mentioned.-Lesd q
Mercury.

The high muck-a.mucks Of the art
world of Cincinnati attended the re-

OF the mayor and made comments on
it. "The har ds." remarked one, do
not reveal any anatomy" "The legs

otherwise / consider it very fine fig.

them finally discovered that something
