. The Bee-keepers' review. Bee culture. THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 13 inside of tlie forearm, will-fdrive me to shelter. Imag-ine, then, what it must be applied to a tender, swollen joint. Any- one who will apply such a remedy is worse than a quack, he is a heartless fool. There is but one form of rheumatism, which is rheumatism itself. There has not yet been discovered a radical cure for rheumatism. Rheumatism is a self limited disease. It continues from one to six weeks, then abates without treatment of any kind; but may assume the chronic form. It very often does, whether treated or not. Chronic rheumatism may hold a person bedfast for weeks, then may apparently leave them, but in a week, month, year or decade, it may return, and all so- called "Cures" and "Reliefs" depend on this peculiarity of the disease. "Patent Medicine" men know this well, and guarantee to cure. Hum. For a year past the bee journals have been filled with alleged cures by bee stings. Why do not the editors write to some doctor of repute, say one of each school, and, getting the opinion of edu- cated men, print that instead of articles by men who do not know myalgia, plumbism, gonorrheal and syphilitic pains from rheumatism? After reading Gleanings, the Review, the British Bee Journal and scores of newspaper articles, I wish to go on record as saying that there is not a well authenticated case of rheumatism cured by the poison of the bee. An Iowa Country Doctor. Buck Grove, Iowa, Aug. 31, 1910. [The general public and many physi- cians, have classed as rheumatism several forms of aches and pains: and judging from reports, some of these forms have been relieved by the application of bee stings. Dr. Bonney asserts that, ac- cording to strict medical science, there is only one form of rheumatism, and that is never relieved by bee stings. It seems to me that the argument is largely in regard to terms rather than facts.â âEditor.] A Veteran's Views on Selling the Honey
