A Simple Cure.

Joy to the world! Anybody who has rheumatism can now be cured. A Philadelphia medical journal in an article upon the cure of rheumatism by electricity gives the following instructions in regard to the application: —ls five cells are used the formula will be —r -5 K C~ : S IR SIR-| 1000 which will, of course, give practically the same result as E IR 1 IR - | 1000 I mention this because it seems to me to shed such a flood of light upon the subject that any poor, suffering cripple can rig up a machine and cure himself. •Hitherto there has been a cloud of obscurity surrounding the application of electricity to rhematism, but now any man who has courage enough to make C equal to 5 E divided by 5 1 R plus I E divided by 1,000 can drop the ashes out of his joints fast enough to make them rattle. And I suppose that in extreme cases where the disease will not yield readily a daring man might stir in the rest of the alphabet without danger of sizzling his legs off. The manner in which science is driving pain and sorrow out of this world is something to make glad the heart of the philanthropist.— Max Adder, in Danbury News, The chap who last summer married a Newport belle, and who during the engagement was always boasting of the “ linguistic and vocal accomplishments” of his intended, looks very serious now when the matter is alluded to by his friends.
