Numerous cures of rheumatism by the use of celery have recently been announced in English papers ; hut the following, more in detail, is given on the authority of the New York Times :— " New discoveries-^or what nlaim to be discoveries— of tbe heal* ing viciues of plants are continually being made. One of the latest is that celery is a cure for rheumatism ; indeed it is asserted that the disease [is impossible if the vegetable be cooked and freely eaten. The faot that it is always put on the table raw prevents its therapeutic powers from being known. She celery should be cut into bits, boiled in water until soft, and the water drunk by the patient. Fat new milk with a - little flour and nutmeg into a sauoepan with boiled celery, serve it warm with a pieoe of toast, eat it with potatoes, and the painful element will soon yield. Such is the declaration of a pbyßioiau who has again and again tried the experiment, and with uniform success. He adds that cold or damp never produces, but simply develops the disease, of which acid blood is the primary and sustaining cause, and that while the blood is alkaline there can neither be rheumatism nor gout. English statistics show that in year 1876, 2610 persons died of rheumatism, and every case, it is claimed, might have been cured or prevented by adoption of the remedy mentioned. At least twothirds of tbe cased named heart disease are ascribed to rheumatism, and every oase, it is claimed, might have been cured or prevented by obeying Nature's laws in diet. But if you have incurred it, boiled celery is pronounced unhesitatingly to be a ipeoifio.
