DRAW POISON THROUGH SKIN
Baltimore Physician Believes He Has
an Effective Cure for Rheuma-
tism in New Idea.

DIR. Fred Pridham of Johns Hopkins
hospital in Baltimore has devised
treatment for joint affections, such as
rheumatism, that is being used very
successfully at the military hospitals
where it has been introduced. He
uses mineral, double nitro-peroxide,
which actually extracts the inflamma-
ton.
The salt is mixed with starchy
substance which holds It's action until
1t Is placed on the skin over the dis
eased bone, from which it extracts the
impurities, the germs and their poi
, sons.
The material is sprinkled on lint
or gauze and placed on the skin over
the diseased bone. When the doctor
removes the dressings, from six to
twelve hours later, there will be seen
blisters on the skin. II there is no
infection the salt will not affect the
skin.
