An EngllSh 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 a most severe attack of
asthma, finding great difficulty in
breathing. Another instance Is that Of
a 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 unacceptable. 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 suffooation
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 opfn-
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, the more SO as it was several
days before recovery was complete
