The latest computation OF the num-
Der OF distinctly rheumatism cures
puts it at 1.437. 1t is one OF the pc
culiarities of rheumatism that the
cures prescribed for it are more nu-
merous even than the varieties OF
the ailment itself.
A brief enumeration OF remedies in
cludes horsechestnuts. wintergreen
tablets. electric rings. magnetic watch
charms. red flannel bandages-white
flannel is considered of no efficacy
goats milk. calisaya. horse-hair poul'
tees. raw onions carried in coat pock-
cts and ice cream soda
These are only 4 few of the best
known remedies. and do not include
several which owe their fame TO COM
binations of sundry ingredients. One
old-fashioned cure is made up OF
pint of old ale and a small measure OF
grated horseradish put in a jar or
demijohn and allowed to stand over
night, after which a glass is drunk
before each meal.
In favo' of many of the established
whimsical rheumatism remedies it is
to be said that they are unusually
palatable. can be bought cheaply and
are generally harmless. recalling in

CHAPTER XIV

The inquest was held in the little
town-hall in the market-place. and the
ugly whispers which We're afioat con
corning Jem Stickels's death brought
together such n gathering that the
meagre accommodation provided by
the old building was taxed to the ut
most.

out one by one as they were wanted.
That part of the court usually occu-
pied by the officials alone held on this
occasion a good many curious ones
drawn thither by the open secret of
the romantic interest attached to the
case. A few p0rtly wives of local
tradesmen. sandwiched in among the
members of the sterner sex. lent their
presence to the scene. There was

tightly packed court as the jurymen
