piece of ice in refrigerator covered
with u snug white blanket will cheat
the greedy iccman nvery day and snap
saucy fingers at the milk that docs not
dare got sour or the beefstcais that dare
not fail.
The English Mechanic prints the
following as a speedy cure for rhenma-
tism: One quart of milk, quite hot, into
which stir one ounce of alum--this will
make curds and whey. Battle part ai-
footed with the whey until too cold. In
the meantime keep the curls hot, and,
after bathing, put them on as poul-
tice, wrap in flannel, and go to sleep
(you can). Three applications should
be perfect cure, even in aggravated
eases. This may be worth trying; 1t
can certainly do no harm.
