the right lilac fossa, and often by vomiting, Not n few
cases occur in which the symptoms are practically
those Of intestinal obstruction. On examining the
seat OF pain there is found an elongated swelling
commencing in the right lilac region and extending
for some distance up the column. This swelling gives
n dull note on percussion and is very tender to the
touch. There is also q class OF cases, and those the
worst, in which no tunor may be fell. and the symp-
toms are those of acute pelitonitis.
In the more alarming class of cases where sudden

And yet. Notwithstanding the raids
which the natives make upon one an
other, there are evidences that a
change is setting In. Conscience is at
work among them, and when they
have been committing outrages they
are conscious that they have been
doing wrong. and they stink back
from their cannibal encounters in
twoes and threes and try to avoid the
missionary, and they omit the war
song and the war-dance and the public
distribution of the cannibal food,
which were formerly customary
among them.
1T is a terrible thing that the can
nibal raids should happen at all, and
yet they are not carried out as in the
old days. The people are in fact
emerging from their barbarism,
though now and then there is an out
break of their old habits of savagery.
The villages, too, are gradually taking
