BEE STINGS FOR RHEUMATISM
Mr. J. C. B. Mason, bee culture adviser to the British Government, in the course of n lecture at Marple, said it was a fact that those who had suffered from beo stings did not suffer from rheumatism. The wife of a friend of his was bedridden with rheumatism, and he told his friend that she must get herself stung by bees. She did so. At first she was only able to have three stings per day. Then she got to twelve stings, and finally she did not suffer from stings at all, and she was cured of rheumatism. During the war ho found a number of soldiers suffering from rheumatism, and he got them to be stung with bees and everyone of them was cured. He had known cases of shell shock also to be cured by bee etings. It was formac acid which was injected into the body by a bee sting.
