NEW CURE FOR RHEUMATISM
Wonderful Results from Hot Air Expert
mcnts in Philadelphia.

ments in Philadelphia.
Remarkable results have been OBJ
tained from a new method of treating
rheumatic affections which has just
been tried in this city before the coun-
ty medical society.
The method consists in the local APP
plication of hot air to the parts affected.
The apparatus by which this is accom-
plished consists of copper cylinder,
under which several gas jets are kept
burning. Into this cylinder the limb
is inserted and the ends are closed.
ss9pS9ss ar fsf Hrr ifflie i,s f. =. ast
moisture exuding from the skin, and
the temperature is raised to $50 to 260
degrees Precautions are taken to pre-
vent the limb from coming in contact
with the hot metal, and the application
is continued for fully 40 minutes.
Two patients were brought in for the
experiment. One was man who had
been under the care of q physician, who
was present, for several months, and
had been gradually growing worse.
He was unable to move his toes or his
ankle, and any motion of the limb
caused excruciating pain. At the end
of 40 minutes, during which time his
temperature was raised nearly two de-
grees, rs shown by the mouth Their
mometer, and his pulse increased about
Is beats per minute, the limb was
taken out of the cylinder; the patient
moved his toes as freely as does child,
bent his ankle without difficulty and
walked with ease, feeling no pain. Other
rheumatic pains in other portions of
the body had also disappeared.
The second patient was a negro who
was suffering from a long-continued
lum bago, and who uttered many groans
as he was being placed on an apparatus
which inclosed his back He was also
| subjected to the heat for 40 minutes,
and when told to rise he sat up as read
lily as when in perfect health The
temperature in the first case was from
PAS to 2G0 degrees Fahrenheit.
In the discussion which followed it
was stated by the exhibitor that these
men would probably be better in the
morning than they appeared to be
when the experiment closed, and that
in most cases one application is sniff
cient. Where extensive deposits had
been made several applications were
necessary to remove them. The SYSTEM
has been in use in the principal hospi-
tails of London with wonderful success.
In the discussion which followed it
was stated by the exhibitor that this
method dissolved and carried off the
deposits upon the bones and in the
muscles, and that this effect extended
in greater or less degree to the whole
body. The apparatus used is now for
the first time brought to the notice OF
the medical fraternity of this country

Black !hen IN Persia.

Old inscriptions and carvings haze
shown that there existed in ancient
Persia members of a race of black
skinned men, who possessed features
resembling those of Africans. The
origin Of these people, as we'll as their
apparent disappearance in modern
times, have furnished puzzling ques~
tons for ethnologists. Some have sup
lposed that in prehistoric times the
greater part of southern Asia was oc-

which only vestiges remained when the

Private authoritative adyices from
Sagua la Grande, Cuba, deny the Ha-
vana report that United States Consul
Barker was arrested in Sagua recently
after a public quarrel with Carreras, a
guerrilla chief.
Consul Barker was insulted in public
recently by a rich and influential Span
lard Of Sagua, named Redro Mora, and
he pulled Morals nose. The latter took
his medicine without daring to resent
the consul vigorous retaliation.
Mora's conduct was due to the fact
that Consul Barker has most actively
championed American victims of Span
ish persecution in Sagua; for this rea-
SON also he has been complained of by
the Spanish authorities, who have found
him a Thorn i'll the flesh.
The report that he had had trouble
with Carreras grew out Of the fact that
that murder of ''pacificos'' together
Olavarietta, were deposed and impris-
oned as a result Of the disclosure OF
their crimes made by a staff correspon-
dent of The World, which disclosures
seem in some way to have been attri-
buted ~wrongfully to the Consul.
People in Sagua are looking eagerly

The Brandon News says Wilson P,
Stevens hauled fifteen bales OF cotton to
Braicon on one wagon last week. He
started from home with only four yoke
of oxen, but found it necessary before
proceeding far on his journey to add
another yoke. When it is considered
that the roads of Rankin are not of the
best aid that there are many hills and
boggy places to be crossed, it is prob
able tnat this load will take the prize
for being the largest hauled to market
on one wagon during the season The
bale average 500 pounds at cents a
