Simple Cure for Rheumatism.
A correspondent of the English Mechanic says Let all of ‘ onrs ’ know the following : My wife has suffered occasionally with acute rheumatism in her feet, with painful swell, ing, completely taking her off her feet for many days at a time. The following remedy was recommended recently and tried, and took away the agonising pain in less than 15 minutes, and she can now walk very fairly and in a couple of days she will be able to button her boots and walk without a stick or crutch. One quart of milk, quite hot, into which stir loz of alum. This makes curds and whey. Bathe the part affected with the whey until too cold. In the meantime keep the curds hot, and after bathing put them on as a poultice, wrap in flannel, and—go to sleep (you can). Three applications should be a perfect cure, even in aggravated cases.
