GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Apk. 1. 



a welcome guest— so much so that it seems as 

 though we were well acquainted with A. I. R. and 

 his family. My dear wife, who recently was taken 

 from me by the relentless hand of death, always read 

 with great interest what she called Mr. Root's ser- 

 mnns, which she enjoyed very much.

THE SALISBURY TREATMENT. 



I read Gleanings with very great pleasure, and 

 am glad that place is found for exalting man's best 

 helper, Jesus Christ. I have received a copy of Mrs. 

 Elma Stuart's book, and, having read it, I decided 

 to adopt the hot-water treatment in part. Every 

 morning since Dec. 2M I have taken the pint of hot 

 water, and every evening the same before retiring. 

 The result is, an alxsence of that tired, heavy feel- 

 ing that I had daily ; abetter digestion; uood sleep 

 at night; a suppleness of limb, an enjoyment of life. 



I have seven hives of bees, in which my growing 

 boys are greatly interested. They are situated in 

 the center of a good vegetable garden, and quite set 

 it off. Geo. A. Reeve.
