Sulphur and Rheumatism.

One of England’s most distinguished physicians has just reported a valuable piece of information that he learned from a gossipy old lady who was addicted to the habit of giving medical advice to her acquaintances, says the Los Angeles Times. She gave some of this advice to one of the learned physician’s patients who was suffering from rheumatism in the hands, suggesting that the patient “put sulphur in her stockings.” The patient took the advice and the rheumatism in the hands disappeared; also a silver ornament worn on the patient’s wrist turned black.
