VIRTUE OF PEAT BATHS.
Discovery Made by Poor Peasant on
the Coast of Finistere.

~'S SS~Ss ~ ''iSNN'Ss
The discovery of the value OF peat
baths was made accidentally many
years ago.
On the coast OF Finistere there lived
at one time very poor family. The
father of the family eked out scanty
living by killing aged cattle and d.
yesting them OF their skins. The re-
mains he sold to tanners and retiners.
Of the three children which be-
longed to this couple one was poor
creature, delicate and wretched, and
apparently half witted. The mother
was SO ashamed of this offspring that
she could not bear to have the child
in her sight.
Consequently he spent most Of his
time, half clothed and badly fed, roll
ing about in the peat boys which were
behind the cottage.
Little by little it was noticed that
the child was improving in health,
that his skin was becoming as fair
and soft as a peach, his eyes bright
and his spirits and actions those of a
strong, healthy boy instead CT half
witted little animal.
The old country physician on one
of his rounds noticed the improved
condition OF the boy and mentioned
that fact and the cause at a medical
conference in Paris.-NeW York Her
