Mr. Adams—For all pulmonary diseases and all diseases of nerves. Mr. Rhodes—Some of our friends who had Bright's dis- ease could eat no sweet but honey.

It takes about two minutes to find which part of the queen is in. The part with the queen is then set on a new stand, after remov- ing the queen-cells. The other part is hopelessly queenless. I then either immediately slip in a cell in a protector, or wait not more than two days for the cell, or put in a virgin queen just hatcht (not a laying queen, or they may swarm).
