RHEUMATISM.

Si r _No doubt your correspondent "Nature Cure" is correct regarding the action of sulphur on the system. But I know that it cured mo in three weeks and ] am quite free from constipation. All Jnst winter [ practically lived on vegetables and had onions every day, not. one or two, but a plate full; but I got steadily worse until I was not able to walk. So now I am cured I can with assurance recommend sulphur and honey to cure rheumatism* TTltrc. Acid.

Sir, —Your correspondent T-l ie .Arid * has created quite 3ti interest by test itying to the benefit of sulphur in cases of rheumatism- Of all the countries I luw} lived in New Zealand stands an eajiy first, us far as rheumatic sufferers are concerned. The reply by "Nature Cure" to "Uric Acid" should not be taken without careful investigation, for he condemns the use of sulphur completely, I may say if it is bo dangerous a remedy* it is strange lhaat in the Old Country sulphur and treacle was generally given to children daily in spring and autumn, especially in Lancashire, where it was a universal habit. I had it given to mo and my brothers arid sisters, and I never heard ouee of it, being taken with injurious' effects. In 0110 case I knew of • a man taking a basin full of sulphur and treaelo at one time and no ill effects followed, but he was thoroughly cured of pimples on the lace. X am sure many of your readers would be pleased if "Lric Acid" would give us his experience. S. L. P. EiumKß.
