Taking them to his Office before go

the expensive tag on the cheap boa,
and vice versa.
His wife examined them for a long
time very seriously indeed and then
said: ''Now, dear, the expensive boa Is

THEIR OWN DOCTORS.
Remedies That Animals When Sick
lnstinctively Select.


With the brute creation the simple
remedies of nature generally suffice
for their few ailments, and they are
guided to them by instinct. We have
been told how the mongoose cures him
self when bitten by cobra by eating
q certain plant, and many country res
idents have seen sick dog bury him
self in the dirt.
Animals instinctively choose such
food as Is best suited to them. A large
number of animals wash themselves
and battle. as elephants, stays, birds
and ants. In fact, man may take a
lesson in hygiene from the lower an
imals Animals get rid of their para
sites by using dust, mud, clay, etc.
Those suffering from fever restrict
their diet. keep quiet, seek darkness
and airy places. drink water and some
times even plunge into it.
When dog has lost his appetite he
eats that species Of grass known as
dogs grass (chiendenb. Cats also eat
grass. catnip, etc. Sheep and cows
when i'll seek out certain herbs. An
animal suffering from chronic rheu-
matism always keeps as much as pos
sible in the sun. The warrior ants
have regularly organized ambulances.
Latrelle cut the antennae Of an ant,
and other ants came and covered the
wounded part with transparent fluid

chimpanzee DE wounded it stops the
bleeding by placing its hand on the
