There was long jangle between

pee., venom For Rheum.ta.m.

DIR. Terc, medical man of much re-
pute in Vienna, advocates as an effec-
tive remedy for rheumatism the satu-
rating Of the patients body with the
venom OF bees. For the purpose he ex-
tracts the venom, treasuring 1t up In
quantity and applying II artiacially in
the way of punctures. He POUNDS this
treatment on his discovery that rhsu-
matte patients do not suffer from q
bees sting to anything like the same
degree as other people. He found that
the tumefaction or swelling that fol-
lows the stinging of bee does not ap-
pear in the rheumatic patient unless
he has been stung several times, while
In some cases the stinging is hardly
felt When the patient suffers himself
to be stung repeatedly, his immunity
against the poison of the bee becomes
complete, and he feels no pain whatso-
ever. What is more, he gets cured Of
his Observation-Disclosures Gl0pe.

There are two curious things about
cats that are not generally known.
Yellow hairs, however few In number,
always indicate the female. No male
ever had the slightest tint of yellow.
That Is one curiosity, and the other
is that blue eyed cat is always deaf.
To be sure, blue eyed cats are scarce,
and 1t is possible that some deaf cats
may not be blue eyed but wherever
