Unique Methods Employed to over

come Certain Diseases.
Freezing, baking Illuminating, tor
turing. frightening and brusing are
among the accepted ways OF curing Ger
tain diseases, says writer IN the Phil
adelphia Times. For example. the bale-
ing cure: When one has IA well deyel-
oped rheumatism, lie Is placed In spe-
cles Of stove and the crystals Of uric
acid are literally melted out Of his body.
Another odd cure once tried for
rheumatism was burial IN damp,
warm clay. The first rheumatic burial
took place at Menomlnee, Mich, The
treatment was not success, and this
form Of cure has been given zip.
The freezing cure: This was first in
troduced by Swiss doctor, Paul Bur
deyront. He placed his patients In
sheets immersed In tee water, packing
the patient all about with crushed Ice.
This treatment Is today used IN typhoid
fever cases.
Or the patient IS plunged into an Ice
water bath. The treatment saves many
lives. Raging fever above 10J degrees
f. has been brought down by these
means to normal-9S % degrees In
less than ten minutes
Neither Of these modes Of treatment
actually freezes one. A physician of
Paris, NJ. Figeau, introduced In 1890 an
ammonia yapor method, which really
froze the patient The body was placed
in n chamber into which certain chem
icals were introduced. Ammonia gas,
by sudden evaporation, then produced
intense cold, and the blood in the body
lost most Of its heat.
NJ. Figeau's method did not meet
with success. Some OF his patients
euccumbed to the drastic measures,
and the practice was abandoned.
