with the physicians natural desire to
DO everything possible for every patient,

inches wide and four inches long in the
scalp. where pieces of the skull were re-
moved. and only the thin membrane OF

ANTS ARE HYPNOTISTS,
netic Treatment to Ailing Mem
bers of Their Mounds.

That ants doctor their sick by hyp-
notism and magnetism is proved by
observation. An ardent student tells
how he witnessed what may be termed
seance. in medical science among
ants. He saw several of these little
creatures emerge from the hill and
noticed that there were some among
them which were weak and emaciated
-invalids, in fact. They were accom-
panied by healthy members of the
community, and all made their way
toward a distant mound.
On following their movements
through glass the observer saw on
this mound a big and sturdy ant, which
made some motions in the direction of
the advancing invalids. The latter
went up the mound, one by one, and
submitted themselves to treatment.
This consisted; in the physician ant
passing his feelers over the head and
body of the patient in a manner dis
tinctly suggestive of the hypnotizing
of nerves and muscles practiced by
human doctors. Every one went
through the treatment, then the pa
tlents went back, and the doctor
marched off in the opposite direction.
