Precautionary measures in relation to
cleansing and purifying the body are
rigidly observed before participating in its
conventions or singing for the benefit of
the sick. The indulgence of any
sensual appetite destroys the charm"
or efficacy of the medicine. The
sacred song Is usually recited by
but one chauter, who visits the different
tribal medicine bands of the nation. The
gentle old chief, who offioiated at my initia-

knowledge of the ehanter. it is expected
that evil results will follow.

A New York physician is conducting a

number of persons who suffer from a terri

Post. The theory that cancer. like the
cholera, tuberculosis and smallpox, is a
germ disease IL not u new one. Some two
years ago European specialists suggested
that the cholera germ might be found to
exist in the erysipelas poison; as they had
observed that erysipelstous conditions FREE
qaently~ accompanied the development of
cancor, and experiments were made on this
theory but without satisfactory results.

temporary affords an account OF some of
the experiments now in progress. The pa
TENTS are strictly isolated on account of
the infectious nature of erysipelas. The
erysipelns germs found in the Rerum of tho
blood were cultured by the familiar pro-
cess IN sserilized galatine and hypodermic-
ally injected into tho generous growth.
IL is said that one patient, n woman, who

How the Medicine Is Dispensed To-day.
The conventions of this society are held
four times a year; when the deer sheds his
coat, at he" berry moon" (Junel, when the
corn is ripe and in midwinter.
This curative. handed down from the
thief, is held by but one medicine man or
Mystery Man of II nation or league of
nations, and at these conventions ID ia dis
trihuted by him to certain bands of the
order who are entitled TO use ii for the
people.
This head medicine man holds the secret
of c~ompounding the restorer until HIS
death warming" then he reveals il TO hls
successor, whom he has the right to choose.
1t is told that he who ''holds the medicine"
never dies suddenly, or, as the red men say
it, The has time To die
Tradition saYs that when the medicine
ia exhausted the rod man will disappear
from tho earth. Ii ia a fact that the medi-
ONE IL very scarce among the eastern In
dians. and that hv reason of the extermin-
alton of certain animals important in its
ingredients, 1t will be nearly Impossible TO
replenish the stock. The passing away and
total humiliation of many of the eastern
trihes Is noted by the red men as u fulfill

INDIAN MEDICINE MEN.


tMrs. Converse. author of this strictly true

.Iater she was made a member of the Onondaga,
Oneida, CayuRa, Tut carora and Mohawk nations.
Since writing this story she has been made a

her public services for the welfare OF the EASTERN
tribes of Indians

~ Indians.
Its rites are the same everywhere, al
though the location of tribes and the ami

govern somewhat the character of the
sacred song which ia recitsd at the four
yearly conventions.
1t is with the consent of the I~roquois
members that | relate some of the oere-
monies at my own initiation into this great
secret medical society, to correct false ideas
