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

DR.. Fred Pridham Of Johns Hopkins
hospital in Baltimore has devised a
treatment for joint affections. such as
rheumatism, that is being used very
successfully at the military hospitals
where il has been introduced. He
uses a mineral, double nitro-peroxide,
which actually extracts the infiamma-
ton.
The salt is mixed with a starchy
substance which holds its 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 sprinkied 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 een
blisters OF the skin. If there is no
infection the salt will not affect the
skin.
