Insulating Sick-Beds.

The Chicago Advance narrates a case where a patient "sick unto death" of a complication of disorders, and suffering constantly, by day and by night, an excruciating agony of pain, for which medicines administered afforded not the slightest alleviation, was entirely and almost instantly relieved from the torment of suffering she had previously endured by insulating the bed, so that the electrical currents were prevented from flowing from the body. Heavy glass salt-cellars were placed under the bed posts, the bed moved out from the wall, and the bed clothing carefully adjusted. It is a simple remedy, and is said to be infallible in acute pain, as rheumatism.
