According to the niemac
Tradition.

The Presque Isle (Me.) correspond
emit of the New York Sun reports that
four weeks ago old Sandy Niccut, the
great medicine man of the Micmac In
dams, was discovered in his tent just
outside the village unconscious, and
suffering from malady, which the
local doctor said was typhoid fever.
He was taken to house where he re-
vived enough to tell his attendants
that he would die unless Eli LeClare,
a French-Canadian musician who Lived
at Miramichi, was sent for.
a telegram was therefore sent to
DeClare, asking him to come and bring
his fiddle. Two days later, the wrinkled
Frenchman and his battered fiddle
reached Presque Isle.
The medicine man was unconscious
when Eli entered the sickroom. The
musician screwed up his instrument,
twanged the strings for moment and
began to play in minor key, the low
notes rolling off from his bow like
shavings under the stroke of plane.
The sick man was tossing in de-
hrious fever when Eli started to play.
but as the music continued, he became
more quiet, his respiration was less
labored, and at the end of an hour,
he was sleeping quietly and perspiring.
"Heem bin geet well now" cried the
fiddler. "Ah'm bin scar out re fever
devil, so Sandy heem bin sleep"
He sent for pint of whisky, and
having drunk more than one-half of it,
he mixed the remainder with cold wa

weeks the French-Canadian watched
by the bed of the sick Indian, dosing
himself with whisky and bathing the
patient in whisky and water every
hour.
The doctor, certain that the Indian
would die, paid little heed to the case
beyond calling once a day to take
the temperature of the sick man. The
fever ran its course, and ON the twenty
first day, when it turned, Eli went out
for half an hour, coming back with six
large bullfrogs, which he placed upon
the sick mans body, three on each
side.
After this he resumed his playing
and did not stop sweeping the bow
across the sounding strings until Sandy
had broken out in perspiration and
was sleeping easily.
