hlectricity Cures.

Recording to Dr. Friedlander Of Wiesbaden, electricity is an antidote against stings of insects. His plan in such cases is to apply constant cur rent and to place a negative cathode on the spot stung by the insect Gal vanization produces rather strong sensation of burning, but at the same time the pain from the sting disap- pears, and if the electricity is applied very soon after the wound has been Inflicted there is little or no swelling. The current, however, does excellent service even if it be not applied until after some time has elapsed, for it re- moves the pain and also quickly re- auces the swelling. The supposition is that the poison which the insect has Injected through the skin, is neutral tzed and readered innoeuous by the current. pr. Friedlander has repeat edly made experiments of this kind on persons who have been stung by bees and wasps, and has invariably found them successful. He naturally believes that similar result would be obtained in the eases of persons stung 6y other insects.
