Queer Cures in Germany.

Some one has been making an in
vest igation as to the survival of medi-
cal SupeTStitiOnS in Germany and his
discoveries have been reported in the
Norddeutsche Allgemcinc Zeitung All
sorts of outlandish ideas and practices
were found in active prevalence in the

Bremerhaven. in the Lunehcrg Heath.
a barren region between the Eibe ana
Aller.
In both of these districts the touch
Of Il corpsc's hand is still regarded :
curative of many local Ills. In the
WcScrmarSch the practice is to steal
secretly into the room where the dead
person i laid out and with the dead
hand stroke the affected rart. In the
Lunchcrg Heath the application is es-
pcCialiy used as Il cure for warts ana
for cramps in the stomach.
Less EreWsumc is the remedy for
hernia still applied in the marsh coun-
Try. On the night Of St John the Bap-
fists day, June u the patient must
be dragged through the split Of a cleft
ash tree. Three men bearing the first
name of John must perform the opera
ii0n and it must be conducted in dead
silence.
Some of the cures depend. on the
contrary. upon verbal formulas For
