CURE FOR RHEC.iauSM.
The Ant Bath Kas Long Been Used b.
Russian Peasants

The Ant Bath Kas Long Been Used b,
Russian Peasants
There are few diseases for which
there are SO many sO-called cures" a.
rheumatism. A French scientist hai
recently been experimenting with bee,
and ants ns remedy for this affection
and claims to have discovered, if not q
complete antidote, at least strong
palliative.
He knew that certain indian tribes
from time immemorial have been accus-
toned to treat rheumatism with the
sting of bees. The sufferer is exposed
to a swarm of bees, which, on be-
ing aroused to anger, attack the sicl
person with great fury. 1t has been
found that no matter how severe the
rheumatism, it generally disappears by
the time the bees stings have subsidized
The French savant thereupon made q
careful analysis of the poison, or irri-
tant fluid, injected by the bee, and
founlthat it contained large per cent,
of {orinic acid. Now, formic acid is
present in considerable quantities in
the bodies of ants, and during his re
searches the French physicians atten-
ton was called to a curious Russian
custom, which showed him that his dis
covery, while new from scientific
point of view, had been known and ap-
piled in a crude way in the land of the
car TO! many years. Especially about
the enyirons Of Moscow, the peasants
attacked with rheumatism treated
themselves TO an ant bath.
This novel bath is prepared In the fol-
lowing fashion: A person goes in search
of an ants nest, and when he finds ore
puts into q linen bag the ants, their
eggs and necessarily considerable dirt.
Retiring to the house, he plunges into
the hot water of the bath his bag of i'm
priscned ants. After few minutes the
water gives off strong penetrating
odor Of forrnic acid. The bath is then
ready, and .be patient is put in it. Such
a bath has very active, irritant action
on the skin, whence results sort of
counter-irritation that causes the
rheumatic pain to disappear.
Thus far the results of the French
doctors experiments with ordinary
formic acid have been favorable, and he
does not regard the use of ants or bee
stings as being at all essential 20 the

his sons pleading. He let him go.
Words fail to tell the delight of that

of Virginia. From the questions he
asked I soon discovered he was west

AS the engine pulled and groaned up
long grade on the return trip suddenly
the boy, who sat between my knees,
looked up into my face and said:
81 have got the very best papa that
ever lived. Do you know my papa?"
no, my boy, do not; but there was
something so familiar to me in his ap-
pearance that ever since you climbed
irto this cab have been trying to think
where l have seen your father before.

piled my fellow traveller.
For a moment I reeled in nv seat in

The next and last time I saw Abra-

Mr.. Isaac Horner, proprietor of the

of the most widely known men in the
state, was cured of rheumatism after
three years of suffering. He says: 81

nothing could be done for me and my
friends were fully convinced that moth
ing but death would relieve me of my
suffering In June, 1894, Mr. Evans,
then salesman for the Wheeling Drug
Co, recommended Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. At this time my foot and limb
were swollen to more than double
their normal size and it seemed to me
my leg would burst, but soon after /
began using the Pain Balm the swell
