An English physician relates an in.
stance Of lady who was stung by
bee. At the first moment she seemed to
pay very little attention to it. but very
soon her face became flushed and spots
appeared all over her body. Suddenly
she developed most severe attack of
asthma, finding great difficulty in
breathing. Another instance is that Of
young lady who was stung on the
back Of her head by an ordinary honey.
bee. In less than five minutes her face
began to swell, and very marked red
and white spots appeared all over the
surface of the body. The swelling ex-
tended over the entire person, accompa-
MED by severe pain, burning and giddi.
ness. The eyes were almost closed and
the countenance was so distorted as to
be unrecognizable Very free bathing
in soda water, with little soda taken
internally, and hot applications to the
feet and thorough massage finally afford
ed relief, but it was some hours before
the patient recovered from what was
truly an alarming condition. Violent
attacks Of nervousness accompanied the
trouble, and the sense of suffocation
was almost intolerable. The young wo-
man had been stung a number Of times
before without any apparent unpleasant
result The physicians were of the opin.
ion that the bee had been feeding upon
some extremely poisonous plant, which
became concentrated in the venom of
the sting. Be that as it may, the condi-
ton was such as to excite grave appre.
hension, tho more so as it was several
days before recovery was complete. -

nothing else to do but to follow him.
In the lady's dressing room he found
the manager with anguish depicted on
every feature and the lady wringing
her hands and shrieking
"Now, doctor, quickl What's to be
done?"
Blum grew as red as lobster, and
as he could not say anything he just
ejaoulated Him! Let US seel Let us
see.
He took tho lady's hand in wild at
tempt to feel her pulse. She shrieked
more than ever and writhed like q
snake
'Have you poured any water on her
head?' he asked.
"Yes."
"And no effect?" "
"None.
"Then don t pour any more"
After this display Of medical knowl-
edge he continued:
"Giye her sniff Of eau do cologne"
Haven't any," was the answer.
"Then go fetch some.
Off rushed the manager and the stage
manager. and Blum was left with his
patient.
Suddenly she opened her eyes and
smiled.

fellow, aren't your"
eyes, ma mselle"
"You must he, doctor Now listen
There is nothing the matter will me.

"Delightedl" he replied joyfully
"Now, ma 'mselle, you re good fell

By this time the man ager and stage
manager came back each with bottle
of eau de cologne. He told them that it
