GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

The Bee-sting Cure 



for Rheumatism 



By the Bee Crank 



The daily press recently reports that a hive 

 of bees has recently been added to the equip- 

 ment of the Roosevelt Hospital, in New York, 

 and that surprising cures have resulted from 

 their stings in severe cases of inflammatory 

 rheumatism. Whether or not the treatment 

 becomes a part of the regular course remains to 

 be seen. 



Items like the above, pure-food laws, foul- 

 brood laws, and a demand for honey and bees- 

 wax that almost exceeds the supply, tends to 

 make the bee industry very interesting to en- 

 terprising bee-men throughout the country. 

 My new building, added to my already perfect 

 geographical location at the very center of the 

 population of the country, and in the largest 

 inland railroad center in the world, have enabled 

 me to carry out my determination to give bee- 

 men the kind of service they never dreamed of 

 before this place became a factor in the supply 

 trade. Some bee-men have not even yet made 

 a test of Pouder service. To such I would sug- 

 gest that they send me, this spring, one sample 

 order. 



I carry a full line of Root's standard goods, 

 and sell at factory prices. My new catalog tells 

 all about them. Send for it. 



BEESWAX. —I am now paying 29 cents cash, 

 or 31 cents in trade. Make small shipments by 

 express, and large ones by freight.
