Illness OF "A Negro Woman who Drank
n youdOo Broth.

Another Of those queer cases arising
from the superstitious practices OF our
negro population has been developed in
the vicinity Of Peck's Mill, a neighbor-
hood where a large part Of the Noudoo-
ism among the negroes exists. The
points Of the case seem 10 be these
Some time ago a negro woman fell sick,
and her disease was pronounced by a
physician 10 be either cancer or abscess
Of the stomach. She has suffered no
little from the disease, and has seemed
oppressed with the idea that her days
we're few i'm this world. But about "A
week ago she was told by an old negro
woman, who visited her, that her trou-
bic was not what the doctor had said,
but that il was "HoodoO sickness, =
produced by the witchery Of some one
who had a grudge against her. The
woman, in her superstition and fear,
jumped at the idea, and it at once be-
came a fixed belief with her. She was
advised bv her old friend TO visit a You
doc doctress, an old negro hag, who
lives somewhere i'm Shermantown. The
advice was acted upon, and the sufferer
was told by this old mixer Of nauseous
and dangerous doses, that she could
give her a cure for her disease. The
woman at once paid - for the cure,
and after a day was given a paper Of
dingy powdered stuff, Of which she was
10 make a pot Of soup. She went home
and made the broth as directed, and
then swallowed the whole Of il. In the
course of a half hour or less, she was
taken with violent pains In the stomach
and head, and fora while was delirious.
She vomited freely and with terrible
r%etchings. Her eyes were swollen and
seemed to be nearly out of their sockets.
During the whole Of Wednesday night
she was in great pain, and j. now pros
trated from the effects of her illness.
Sweet oil was given TO her in large doses
and she was rubbed with pepper from
head to feet. What caused the violent
sickness was certainly the voudoo soup,
and it was made, it is said, by some OF
the negroes, Of sulphur, pounded roots
and pieces Of snake meat Such IS the
Judgment Of one negro who prctends to
have known similar eases. The woman
Is recovering, but swears she will prose

resistance then, and tried to soften his
captors with prayers for mercy. They

Isaiah suddenly drew "A knife, cut the
rope that bound him, stabbed one Of the

with blood, and then b~arbarously tor
tured to death. A rope was noosed
around his neck and fastened TO the
wagon, and his body dragged along the
stony road. He was dead before the
place for the hanging was reached.
Amos continued his supplications and
pro~testations of innocence until the rope
