Bee Sings Cure Rheumatism

Hopelessly crippled for two years by
rheumatism, William P. Fitzgerald, q
wealthy brewer of Ansonia, Conn, has
been cured by exposing himself to the at.
tack Of the bees.
Leaving a hospital month ago, when
all remedies failed, Mr.. Fitzgerald tried
the bee experiment as a final resort. A
friend who had benefited by like treat
ment suggested il to him.
A hive Of bees quartered in the garrett
of Mr.. Fitzerald's home daily divided
their time between gathering honey and
burying their weapons in their owner,
Aktimes the bees would not sting until
angered by poking. Their stabs caused
severe pain in the patients arms and legs
bus he suffered heroically. After three
weeks OF the treatment be is able to walk
without crutches.
Medical journals recently have been
discussing bees a,a cure and stated thai
their sting neutralized the acid, an excess

Mr.. NJ. A. Dew. Howe quotes the fol-

Memoranda"
IAN honest but very intelligent
farmer of my parish, some ten years
ago, accosted me in this manner:
"'Well. Mr.. Bancroft. what do you

Il answered. I hope something
good
They say, III we find fault with
him he does not mind 1t at all; and
Ii we praise him he does not mind It..
but keeps steadily on his own way;
we therefore have concluded that it II
